语音信号调制的微腔半导体激光器的抗噪音性能

假定微腔半导体激光器输入调制信号为实际语音信号,伴随语音信号的噪音为加性白噪音,在小信号近似下,得到了电流调制和自发发射寿命调制下激光器的传递函数;在大信噪比的前提下,对激光器进行了频域分析,得到了不同参量下的信噪比增益.数值模拟结果表明,在偏置电流的变化范围内,存在极低信噪比增益区,大自发发射因子、小自发发射寿命有利于使该区变窄;语音信号的通带范围和功率谱密度分布特征参量的适当选取,可以使激光器的抗噪音性能在偏置电流的某段范围内得以提高.     

Beam divergence effects on high power optical parametric oscillation

The beam divergence effects of the input pump laser on a high power nanosecond optical parametric oscillator （OPO） have been numerically simulated. The OPO conversion efficiency is affected due to the angular deviation of real laser beams from ideal phase matching conditions. Our theoretical model is based on the decomposition of the Gaussian beam and assumes each component has a single deviation angle and thus a particular wave vector mismatch. We take into account the variable intensity profile in the spatial and temporal domains of the Gaussian beam, the pump depletion effects for large-signal processes as well as the oscillatory effects of the three waves. Two nonlinear crystals β-BaB2O4 （BBO） and LiB305 （LBO） have been investigated in detail. The results indicate that the degree of beam divergence strongly influences the maximum pump intensity, optimum crystal length and OPO conversion efficiency. The impact of beam divergence is much more severe in the case of critical phase-matching for BBO than in the case of non-critical phase-matching for LBO. The results provide a way to choose the optimum parameters for a high power ns OPO such as the nonlinear material, the crystal length and the pump intensity, etc. Good agreement is obtained with our experimental results.
