Low power penalty tunable slow light using vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser amplifier

A tunable slow light of 2.5-Gb/s pseudo-random binary sequence signal using a 1550-nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) is experimentally demonstrated. The influences of the bias current and the gain saturation on the slow light are investigated. With bias current increasing, tunable optical group delay up to 98 ps is obtained at room temperature. Demonstration of the time delay between 16 and 24 ps by signal intensity change is reported. Under an appropriate bias current, by tuning the input signal to track the peak gain wavelength of the VCSEL, slow light of a power penalty as low as 1 dB is achieved. With such a low power penalty, the VCSEL has a great potential application as a compact optical buffer.     

Improvement of slow light performance for vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser using coupled cavity structure

We propose a vertical cavity semiconductor emitting laser(VCSEL)using a coupled-cavity(CC)design to broaden the bandwidths of gain and delay spectra.The structure is formed by constructing a passive cavity coupled with the active cavity.By rendering the strength of the two resonant cavities,the increased gain bandwidth by 340%and the increased delay bandwidth by 800%are achieved as compared with the signal-cavity(SC)VCSEL.The wideband spectra present more square-like passband which is expected for slow light system.By using it,a 20 Gbit/s super Gaussian signal is delayed by about 13 ps with high quality.     

垂直腔面发射激光器的饱和效应对慢光延时影响的研究

通过理论和实验研究了1550 nm量子阱垂直腔面发射激光器(QW-VCSEL) 的饱和效应对2.5 Gbps二进制伪随机序列(PRBS)慢光延时的影响. 利用Fabry-Perot腔边界条件结合光场分布, 推导出VCSEL中信号相位和延时表达式, 并结合速率方程, 建立信号功率与延时之间的联系. 实验研究了在VCSEL逐渐达到饱和状态过程中PRBS信号的延时时间和眼图的变化情况. 理论和实验结果表明, 由于受饱和效应的影响, 大功率信号在VCSEL中传输得到更好的信号质量, 但以牺牲延迟时间为代价. 为了获得较大的时延, 一方面需要控制信号功率, 其次还需要调节信号波长以追踪由于饱和效应导致的VCSEL峰值增益波长的变化轨迹. 关键词： 慢光延时 垂直腔面发射激光器 饱和效应     

基于一种优化的梳状布里渊增益谱实现对任意周期信号的零展宽快慢光

在理论分析任意信号实现无畸变快慢光所需条件的基础上,根据周期信号的频谱特点,推导出一种优化的梳状布里渊增益谱的普适公式.利用该普适公式,可根据所需时间延迟或超前量,方便地得到周期信号每个离散频谱分量所对应的各离散布里渊增益谱的强度和增益谱峰值相对于频谱分量的偏移量,从而确定整个梳状布里渊增益谱的形状.通过对正弦信号、周期性高斯信号和周期性方波信号的数值计算,结果表明,利用该优化的梳状布里渊增益谱可实现这三种周期信号在零展宽下的快慢光,证实了所得普适公式的正确性.此外,通过调节各离散布里渊增益谱的强度和偏移量,时间延迟或超前量连续可调.     

基于宽带非相干抽运光源的慢光延迟理论研究

从理论上分析了基于谱分割宽带非相干放大自发辐射(ASE)光源作为抽运信号产生受激布里渊散射(SBS)效应实现慢光延迟的特性。着重考虑了慢光效应对传输系统性能的影响, 对2.5 Gbit/s的非归零(NRZ)和归零(RZ)伪随机码进行了数值分析, 得到了延迟信号眼图、延迟量及Q因子在不同谱分割带宽和功率下的变化趋势。结果表明, 增大抽运功率和减小谱分割带宽有利于增加信号的延迟, 但延迟信号的扰动加大, 因而Q因子减小, 恰当选取抽运功率和谱分割带宽可以在保证延迟量的情况下提高Q因子, 有助于系统性能的优化。与传统实现宽带抽运脉冲方法相比, 使非相干ASE光源通过一个光纤布拉格光栅(FBG)滤波器, 可以很方便地得到吉赫兹带宽的抽运脉冲, 因而大大降低了系统的复杂度及成本, 且延迟量可以和传统方法相比拟。
