Dual-wavelength distributed Bragg reflector semiconductor laser based on a composite resonant cavity

We report a monolithic integrated dual-wavelength laser diode based on a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) composite resonant cavity. The device consists of three sections, a DBR grating section, a passive phase section, and an active gain section. The gain section facet is cleaved to work as a laser cavity mirror. The other laser mirror is the DBR grating, which also functions as a wavelength filter and can control the number of wavelengths involved in the laser action. The reflection bandwidth of the DBR grating is fabricated to have an appropriate value to make the device work at the dual-wavelength lasing state. We adopt the quantum well intermixing (QWI) technique to provide low-absorption loss grating and passive phase section in the fabrication process. By tuning the injection currents on the DBR and the gain sections, the device can generate 0.596 nm-spaced dual-wavelength lasing at room temperature.     

基于SPGD算法的少模光纤耦合解复用系统动态湍流补偿仿真

在空间光通信系统中,激光在大气中传输时容易受湍流效应影响,且接收端往往使用模场半径极小的单模光纤进行空间光耦合,导致光纤耦合效率降低,影响通信系统性能.为了提高接收端光纤耦合效率,结合随机并行梯度下降(SPGD)算法和少模光纤耦合解复用系统对动态湍流所引起的波前相位畸变进行补偿校正,并实现了传输距离为5 km的空间光通信数值仿真.仿真结果表明:在不同的湍流强度和风速条件下,未经SPGD算法校正时,两模光纤的耦合效率比单模光纤提高了0.5 dB～1.5 dB,相对标准差降低了0.03～0.4;经过SPGD算法校正后,两模光纤的耦合效率比单模光纤提高了0.4 dB～2.2 dB,中强湍流下,相对标准差降低了0.1～0.2.因此在空间光通信中,采用少模光纤进行耦合接收比单模光纤具有更好的耦合效果,有利于提高通信系统稳定性.     

改进的MPPM-QPSK光通信系统两模均衡算法

多脉冲位置调制联合正交相移键控(MPPM QPSK)在接收机灵敏度方面具有明显优势,均衡算法可以有效优化数字相干光通信系统中信号带宽受限和码间串扰带来的影响,提高信号的传输质量.针对恒模算法仅能优化MPPM-QPSK中QPSK部分的问题,对两模均衡算法的内圈参考模值进行改进,提出了一种内圈模值不为0的两模均衡算法.将该算法应用到10 Gbit/s单载波高斯成形和Nyquist成形的MPPM-QPSK相干光通信系统中,并对其内圈模值、抽头数和步长等参数进行优化.实验结果表明,相比使用传统两模算法的系统,本系统的接收机灵敏度优化了约0.1dB.当脉冲数m=2,4,8,16时,相比不加均衡算法的系统,本系统的接收机灵敏度分别优化了0.9 dB,0.6 dB,0.5 dB,0.4 dB.
