Wavelength modulation spectroscopy at 1530.32 nm for measurements of acetylene based on Fabry–Perot tunable filter

Sensitive detection of acetylene(C_2H_2) is performed by absorption spectroscopy and wavelength modulation spectroscopy(WMS) based on Fiber Fabry–Perot tunable filter(FFP-TF) at 1530.32 nm. After being calibrated by Fiber Bragg Grating(FBG), FFP-TF is frequency-multiplexed and modulated at 20 Hz and 2.5 kHz respectively to achieve wavelength modulation. The linearity with 0.9907 fitting coefficient is obtained by measuring different concentrations in a 100 ppmv–400 ppmv range. Furthermore, the stability of the system is analyzed by detecting 50 ppmv and 100 ppmv standard gases for 2 h under room temperature and ambient pressure conditions respectively. The precision of 11 ppmv is achieved by calculating the standard deviation. Therefore, the measuring system of C_2H_2 detection can be applied in practical applications.     

Analysis of physical layer performance of data center with optical wavelength switches based on advanced modulation formats

In this paper the IRIS (Integrated Router Interconnected spectrally), an optical domain architecture for datacenter network is analyzed. The IRIS integrated with advanced modulation formats (M-QAM) and coherent optical receiver is analyzed. The channel impairments are compensated using the DSP algorithms following the coherent receiver. The proposed scheme allows N2 multiplexed wavelengths for N×N size. The performance of the N×N-IRIS switch with and without wavelength conversion is analyzed for different Baud rates over M-QAM modulation formats. The performance of the system is analyzed in terms of bit error rate (BER) vs OSNR curves.     

Injection locked Fabry-Perot laser diodes for WDM passive optical network spare function

In this paper, a protection scheme for transmitters in wavelength-division-multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) has been proposed and demonstrated. If any downstream transmitter encounters problems at the central office (CO), the interrupted communication can be restored immediately by injecting a Fabry-Perot laser diode (FP-LD) with the upstream lightwave corresponding to the failure transmitter. Compared with the conventional methods, this proposed architecture provides a cost-effective and reliable protection scheme employing a common FP-LD. In the experiment, a 1:36 protection capability was implemented with a 2.5 Gbit/s downstream transmission capability.

Wavelength-switchable erbium-doped fiber ring laser combined with a Fabry-Perot laser diode and a sampled grating

We present a wavelength-switchable erbium-doped fiber ring laser consisting of an anti-reflection coated Fabry-Perot laser diode (FP-LD) and a sampled fiber Bragg grating (SFBG). The wavelength switching is obtained easily by the shift of FP mode with respect to the reflection peaks of the SFBG. The proposed laser apparatus not only simultaneously emits two wavelengths but also switches between the two wavelengths by adjusting the modes of FP-LD with a change of the injection current of the FP-LD as little as ∼1 mA. The proposed wavelength-switchable erbium-doped fiber ring laser exhibits high laser performance with side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR) ?50 dB.

In this investigation, we propose and investigate the simple self-injection locked Fabry-Perot laser diodes (FP-LDs) in optical line terminal (OLT); and wavelength-tunable optical network unit (ONU) using reflective optical semiconductor amplifier (RSOA) and FP-LD laser for downstream and upstream traffic in long reach (LR) wavelength division multiplexed-passive optical network (WDM-PON) respectively. The output performance of the proposed two laser sources in terms of power and side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR) has been discussed. Here, for the downstream traffic, the proposed optical transmitter can be directly modulated at 2.5 Gb/s on-off keying (OOK) format with nearly 0.4 dB power penalty at bit error rate (BER) of 10⁻⁹ through 75 km single-mode fiber (SMF) transmission.

The rate-equation and the Fabry-Perot amplifier models for injection locked laser diodes are compared. Both models give identical results at the limiting case of no injected signal. The Fabry-Perot model predicts a wider locking bandwidth and is more useful for large signal applications. The rate-equation model is suitable for investigating the dynamic properties. Numerical results from both models are presented.     

Direct intensity modulation of a rectangular ring laser with bidirectional lasing characteristics

The direct intensity modulation of a three-guide coupled rectangular ring laser having bidirectional lasing characteristics is reported for the first time. The rectangular laser cavity consists of four low loss total internal reflection mirrors and an output coupler made out of three passive coupled waveguides. The laser is fabricated using a total cavity length of 580 μm with active section lengths of 250 μm. For both the clockwise and counterclockwise circulating directions, a lasing threshold of around 38 mA is obtained at room temperature under continuous wave operation. A maximum 3-dB modulation bandwidth of approximately 3.2 GHz is observed in both circulating directions.     

Frequency modulation of a laser by fluctuations in a chemical reaction

A variant of zero-angle light scattering is proposed with particular emphasis on the use of this technique for measuring chemical reaction rates. The system analyzed consists of a laser oscillator with a reacting sample placed inside the resonant cavity. Fluctuations about equilibrium of the chemical reaction frequency modulate the oscillator, and the power spectrum of the modulating signal is Lorentzian with width proportional to the reaction rate. The modulation signal is very weak, but should be detectable with modern techniques.     

基于双光注入锁定1550 nm垂直腔表面发射半导体激光器产生可调谐毫米波

基于自旋反转模型, 对双光注入下1550 nm 垂直腔表面发射半导体激光器(1550 nm-VCSEL)的非线性动力学行为进行了理论分析和数值仿真研究. 结果表明: 当一个中心波长位于1550 nm 的副VCSEL(S-VCSEL)同时受到来自两个主VCSELs (M-VCSELs)的光注入时, 在适当的注入条件下, S-VCSEL可处于双光注入锁定态. 此时, S-VCSEL中的两偏振模式均呈现频率为两注入光频率之差的周期性振荡, 输出的光谱仅包含两个主频率部分, 即光谱具有单边带特征. 因此, 基于双光注入下S-VCSEL的周期性振荡可以获得两个相互正交的光毫米波. 通过调节两个M-VCSELs之间的频率差异可使毫米波频率在较大范围内连续可调, 通过调节系统参量可以控制毫米波功率以及调制深度. 关键词： 垂直腔表面发射激光器 双光注入 毫米波 调制深度
