Generation of Low Jitter Laser Diode Pulse With External Pulse Injection

Experimental investigation of the impact of optical injection on vital parameters of a gain-switched pulse source

An analysis of optical injection on a gain-switched distributed feedback (DFB) laser and its impact on pulse parameters that influence the performance of the pulse source in high-speed optical communication systems is presented in this paper. A range of 10 GHz in detuning and 5 dB in injected power has been experimentally identified to attain pulses, from an optically injected gain-switched DFB laser, with durations below 10 ps and pedestal suppression higher than 35 dB. These pulse features are associated with a side mode suppression ratio of about 30 dB and a timing jitter of less than 1 ps. This demonstrates the feasibility of using optical injection in conjunction with appropriate pulse compression schemes for developing an optimized and cost-efficient pulse source, based on a gain-switched DFB laser, for high-speed photonic systems.     

All-Fiber Self-Injection Seeding for Optical Timing Jitter Reduction in a Chirp Compensated Gain-Switched DFB Laser

We demonstrate an original all-fiber self-injection seeding technique based on a noninterferometric reflector for the optical timing jitter reduction in a chirp compen sated gain-switched Distributed FeedBack (DFB) laser. Two experiments, at 2.5 and 5 GHz, show standard deviations of the optical timing jitter of 0.28 ps and a reduction factor of 17 in the best case. The self-injection seeding sensitivity to polarization effects and to modulating frequency changes was measured in terms of standard deviation. A final experiment at 10 GHz, with no external feedback, shows an optical timing jitter down to 0.4 ps due to a time dynamics of spontaneous emission fluctuations slower than the pulse period.     

Generation of optimized wavelength-tunable optical pulse from an uncooled gain-switched Fabry–Perot semiconductor laser using optical amplifier as external light injection

We present a novel system design that can generate the optimized wavelength-tunable optical pulse streams from an uncooled gain-switched Fabry–Perot semiconductor laser using an optical amplifier as external light source. The timing jitter of gain-switched laser has been reduced from about 3 ps to 600 fs and the pulse width has been optimized by using our system. The stability of the system was also experimentally investigated. Our results show that an uncooled gain-switched FP laser system can feasibly produce the stable optical pulse trains with pulse width of 18 ps at the repetition frequency of 5 GHz during 7 h continuous working. We respectively proved the system feasibility under 1 GHz, 2.5 GHz and 5 GHz operation.     

Low Timing Jitter and Tunable Dual-Wavelength Picosecond Pulse Generation from a Fabry--Pérot Laser Diode with External Injection

A novel scheme to generate tunable dual-wavelength optical pulses with low timing jitter at arbitrary repetition rates is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. The pulses are generated from a gain-switched Fabry-Pérot laser diode with two external cw beams for injection seeding simultaneously. The cw light is generated by two independent distributed feedback laser diodes, and their wavelengths can be tuned independently by two temperature controllers. The dual-wavelength pulses with the pulse width of 57 ps, the timing jitter of 340 fs, are obtained. The sidemode-suppression ratio of the output pulses is better than 23dB over a 10-nm wavelength tuning range.     

Pulse-Width Jitter Measurement for Laser Diode Pulses

Theoretical analysis and experimental measurement of pulse-width fitter of diode laser pulses are presented. The expression of pulse power spectra with all amplitude jitter, timing jitter and pulse-width jitter is deduced. The power spectra with and without pulse-width fitter are that the pulse-width jitter will contribute considerably numerically simulated. The simulation results indicate noise to the pulse power spectrum while the product of pulse width and angular frequency is larger than 1. The experimental measurement of pulse-width fitter of a gain-switched Fabry-Perot laser diode with 2.4 GHz repetition rate is also reported. In comparison of the noise power spectra of the first, fourth and seventh harmonics of the pulse repetition rate, 2.3ps pulse-width jitter is obtained.     

Characterization of 1550 nm sub-picoseconds optical pulse using a gain-switching distributed feedback laser with CW-mode external-injection and pulse-mode self-injection

In this paper, we experimentally demonstrated the 1550 nm short optical pulses generation using a TO-packaged gain-switching distributed feedback (DFB) semiconductor laser driving by 2.5 GHz radio frequency (RF) signals and combining with optical injection techniques. The characteristics of the generated optical pulse by the proposed CW-mode external-injection and pulse-mode self-injection schemes are characterized in the side mode suppression ratio (SMSR), spectrum line-width, pulse-width and root-meansquare (RMS) jitter. In the CW-mode external-injection case, the SMSR of 35.5 dB, line-width of 0.235 nm, pulse-width of 47.69 ps, and RMS jitter of 1.4 ps are obtained when the optical injection ratio of 5 dB. In the pulse-mode self-injection, however, the SMSR of 61.2 dB, spectrum line-width of 0.189 nm, pulse-width of 58.46 ps, and RMS jitter of 1 ps are achieved and its overall performances are better than CW-mode externalinjection one.
