分布反馈光纤激光器阵列中外腔反馈特性研究

以半导体激光器中的复合腔模型和实测的分布反馈光纤激光器的外腔端面反射率为基础,对不同反射率条件下分布反馈光纤激光器的输出功率进行了仿真,同时搭建了二基元分布反馈光纤激光器阵列实验平台,对仿真结果进行了验证.仿真与实验结果表明:外腔反馈光重新注入分布反馈光纤激光器会增加激光器的输出功率,降低了阵列的输出功率平坦性.并且外腔端面反射率越大,这种平坦性降低的效果越明显.在构建分布反馈光纤激光器阵列时,应考虑外腔反馈对阵列输出功率平坦性造成的影响,尽量选择外腔端面反射率较小的激光器进行组阵.

Study of Spatial Hole Burning in Distributed Phase-Shifted Distributed Feedback Semiconductor Lasers

In this paper,the Huygens-Fresnel principle is restudied by means of wavelet analysis firstly,this builds the basis of the theory for wavelet optics.Then the theory of wavelet analysis is used to analyze the filtering in spatial domain and spatial frequency domain.For example,it gives the space variable processing for the filtering with wavelet in spatial domain,the match filtering for the filtering with wavelet in spatial frequency domain and a single slit and a round aperture for the wave-front filtering.The feasibility for treating the problems in optical field with wavelet transform is discussed,and the theoretical frame of wavelet optics is built.     

Diamagnetic and Paramagnetic Effects in Free-Electron Lasers

The effect of high-current relativistic electron beams (REB's) on the undulator field amplitude in free-electron lasers (FEL's) is investigated. Two mechanisms of excitation of periodic magnetostatic self-fields by REB are considered: 1) a static mechanism that is realized at stationary motion of REB in the undulator field; and 2) a dynamic mechanism that is realized at signal wave amplification. The static mechanism in the absence of an axial magnetic field leads to a decrease of the total undulator field amplitude (a diamagnetic effect). The dynamic mechanism for low-density beams leads to an increase of the total undulator field amplitude (a paramagnetic effect), with a subsequent increase of electron efficiency. For high-density beams, the effect of the phase shift of the total undulator field is most essential, due to which the growth of the signal wave amplitude is limited by nonlinear mismatch of synchronism.

Low-Threshold Conjugated Polymer Distributed Feedback Lasers on InP Substrate

We demonstrate a low threshold polymer solid state thin-film distributed feedback （DFB） laser on an InP substrate with the DFB structure. The used gain medium is conjugated polymer poly[2-methoxy-5-（2-ethylhexyloxy）-l, 4- phenylenevinylene] （MEH-PPV） doped polystyrene （PS） and formed by drop-coating method. The second order Bragg scattering region on the InP substrate gave rise to strong feedback, thus a lasing emission at 638.9nm with a line width of 1.2nm is realized when pumped by a 532nm frequency-doubled Nd：YAG pulsed laser. The devices show a laser threshold as low as 7n J/pulse.     

Low Threshold Distributed Feedback Quantum Cascade Lasers with Widely Spaced Emission Wavelengths

We report lasing properties of distributed feedback quantum cascade lasers （DFB QCLs） including a doublephonon-resonance active region, at wavelength of about 8.4 μm. A broad gain spectrum is generated due to the coupling between the lower laser level in the active region and the levels in the injector, and is demonstrated by the lasing spectrum of the corresponding Fabry-Perot QCLs whose width is 0.5 μm at 1.5 times of the threshold current. As a result, the DFB QCLs employing different grating periods exhibit a wavelength span of 0.18μm at room temperature and total wavelength coverage of 0.28μm at various heat sink temperatures. A high side mode suppression ratio of about 30dB and a low threshold current density of 1.78kA/cm^2 are achieved as the lasers operate at room temperature in pulsed mode.     

非对称相移分布反馈光纤激光器的双向输出波长特性

为了得到单频输出的光纤激光器，常采用带有相移的分布反馈结构，但当耦合强度比较大时，基模的激光功率将集中在相移区，这时，如果相移区太偏离光纤光栅的中心位置，由于空间烧孔效应，相移分布反馈激光器的两端会出现不同的输出波长特性。在接近于相移区的一端，输出为在布拉格波长的基模，而在另一端，输出为位于布拉格波长两侧的一阶模。给出了理论分析和相应的实验结果。

A Novel Multisection Distributed Feedback Laser with Varied Ridge Width for Self-Pulsation Generation

A novel ridge-waveguide multisection （MS） distributed feedback （DFB） laser, which consists of two identical DFB sections but different ridge widths, is proposed to generate beating-type self-pulsations （SPs）. The spatiotemporal dynamic response of such a multisection DFB laser is calculated based on a large-signal travelling-wave model. Self-pulsating output at about 150GHz is predicted, and evidences for the beating mechanism of the SPs are provided. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on SP generated by MS-DFB lasers with varied ridge width. Compared to other alternatives, such devices are much easier to implement and also enjoy the advantages of lower cost and higher design freedom.
