高功率半导体激光器线阵列的波长锁定技术

高功率半导体激光器光谱随温度和工作电流的变化比较大，光谱线宽比较宽，这些缺点直接限制了其实际应用。因此，高功率半导体激光器波长稳定技术的研究是激光领域的一个重要研究方向。对波长稳定技术进行研究。实验用体布拉格光栅（VBG）作为反馈元件与高功率半导体激光器线阵列，构成可以对其波长进行锁定的外腔激光器。分析了外腔激光器的波长锁定效果与高功率半导体激光器工作电流、冷却温度、工作电流的占空比和“smile”现象等因素的关系。研究结果表明，高功率半导体激光器的工作电流、冷却温度、工作电流的占空比会影响其激射波长，当激射波长与VBG的布拉格波长差值小于3．0nm时，可以得到较好的波长锁定效果，而阵列本身的“smile”现象对其波长锁定的影响不大。

连续工作的体布拉格光栅外腔半导体激光器的温度特性

对体布拉格光栅(VBG)作为波长选择元件的外腔半导体激光器的波长锁定进行了实验研究,报道了连续运转输出功率达43.5 W的半导体激光器阵列的体布拉格光栅波长锁定实验结果,给出了不同热沉温度下的稳定的波长锁定结果,说明采用体布拉格光栅外腔将减小半导体激光器的温控压力。实验中发现,随着注入电流的增大,输出激光功率逐渐增强,锁定的激射波长向长波长方向偏移。在输出功率为34.5 W时,波长红移约0.56 nm。这一移动与实验测量的体布拉格光栅的温度特性相吻合。连续和高占空比运行、高输出功率情况下,在器件的设计和使用时应该考虑这一效应。

Relay lens-free birefringence-customized stackable beam-steering modules for optical interconnects

A previously suggested birefringence-customized modular optical interconnect technique is extended for lens-free relay operation. Various lens-free relay imaging models are developed. We claim that the lens-free relay system is important in simplifying an optical interconnect system whenever the imaging conditions permit. To verify the validity of various proposed concepts, we experimentally implemented some 8 x 8 optical permutation modules. High-power efficiency and low channel cross talk were experimentally observed. In general, the larger the channel spacing, the less the cross talk. A quantitative cross-talk measurement of the lens-free relay system shows that, for a fixed channel width of 0.5 mm and channel spacings of 0.5, 1, and 2 mm, a less than -20-dB cross-talk performance can be guaranteed for lens-free relay distances of 40, 280, and 430 mm, respectively.

Measurement of thermal rise-time of a laser diode based on spectrally resolved waveforms

Thermal resistance and thermal rise-time are two basic parameters that affect most of the performances of a laser diode greatly. By measuring waveforms received after a spectroscope at wavelengths varied step-by-step, the spectrally resolved waveforms can be converted to calculate the thermal rise-time. Basic formulas for the spectrum variation of a laser diode and the measurement set-up by using a Boxcar are described in the paper. As an example, the thermal rise-time of a p-side up packaged short-pulse laser diode was measured by the method to be 390 mu s. The method will be useful in characterizing diode lasers and LID modules in high-power applications. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Wavefront measurement of double-clad pulsed ytterbium fiber laser

Because of high efficiencies, compact structure, and excellent heat dissipation, high-power fiber lasers are extremely useful for applications such as cutting, welding, precision drilling, trimming, sensing, optical transmitter, material processing, micromachining, and so on. However, the wavefront of the double clad fiber laser doped with ytterbium is still unknown. In this paper, wavefront of a fiber laser is measured and the traditional Hartmann-shack wavefront sensing method is adopted. We measured a double clad fiber laser doped with ytterbium which produces pulse wave output at infrared wavelength. The wavefront shape and contour are reconstructed and the result shows that wavefront is slightly focused and not an ideal plane wavefront. Wavefront measurement of fiber laser will be useful to improving the lasers' performance and developing the coherent technique for its applications.

Effects of atmosphere visibility on performances of non-line-of-sight ultraviolet communication systems

Dependence of performances of non-line-of-sight (NLOS) solar-blind ultraviolet (UV) communication systems on atmosphere visibility is investigated numerically by correlating the propagation of UV radiation with the visibility. A simplified solar-blind UV atmospheric propagation model is introduced, and the NLOS UV communication system model is constituted based on the single scattering assumption. Using the model, numerical simulation is conducted for two typical geometry configurations and different modulation formats. The results indicate that the performance of the NLOS UV communication system is insensitive to variation of visibility in quite a large range, and deteriorates significantly only in very low-visibility weather, and is also dependent on the geometry configuration of the system. The results also show that the pulse position modulation (PPM) is preferable due to its high-power efficiency to improve the system performance. (c) 2007 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
