Waveguide external cavity narrow linewidth semiconductor lasers

Narrow linewidth light source is a prerequisite for high-performance coherent optical communication and sensing.Waveguide-based external cavity narrow linewidth semiconductor lasers(WEC-NLSLs)have become a competitive and attractive candidate for many coherent applications due to their small size,volume,low energy consumption,low cost and the ability to integrate with other optical components.In this paper,we present an overview of WEC-NLSLs from their required technologies to the state-of-the-art progress.Moreover,we highlight the common problems occurring to current WEC-NLSLs and show the possible approaches to resolving the issues.Finally,we present the possible development directions for the next phase and hope this review will be beneficial to the advancements of WEC-NLSLs.     

Half-width temperature dependence of nitrogen broadened lines in the ν2 band of H2O

Forty-seven N₂ broadened water vapor line-widths have been measured in the 1845-2140 cm⁻¹ spectral range with a Fourier Transform spectrometer in the 258-330 K temperature range at a spectral resolution of 0.005 cm⁻¹ for the lines with upper state rotational quantum number up to 16. The measured exponents of the temperature dependence of the width exhibit a large range of values from 1.60 to −0.86. Theoretical calculations were made using a semi-empirical technique based on the Anderson theory. The calculated broadening coefficients as well as the temperature exponents for the half-width agree satisfactory with measured values.     

Fluorescence line narrowed spectra of Zn and metal-free cytochrome c

Fluorescence line narrowing (FLN) spectroscopy was used to study the role of the polypeptide chain in influencing the spectrum of Zn-substituted cytochrome c (Zn cyt c) and metal-free cyt c (porphyrin cyt c). For both derivatives the spectra show characteristics of relaxed fluorescence from an inhomogeneously broadened sample. Zero phonon lines and phonon wings can be clearly distinguished, and vibrational frequencies of the ground and excited states were identified. The inhomogeneous distribution width for porphyrin cyt c is slightly wider than that of Zn cyt c and a second population of molecules was apparent in the porphyrin cyt c. The phonon coupling was greater for Zn cyt c than for porphyrin cyt c, which may be due to the extra coupling to the polypeptide chain by metal ligation.This work has been done in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy degree.

Hole Burning and Fluorescence Spectra of Sol-Gel Derived Sm2+-Doped Glasses

Sm2+-doped glasses in the system of Al2O3-SiO2 were prepared by sol-gel processing of metal alkoxides and reacting with H2 gas at 800°C. The hole burning properties of these glasses were investigated. The holes were burned in the 7F0 5D0 line of the Sm2+ ions using a DCM dye laser at 77 K. The hole depth increased with increasing the laser irradiation time, reaching up to 15% of the total intensity within a few hundred seconds. The hole width was 3 cm–1 full width at half maximum. Fluorescence line narrowing spectra of the 5D0 7 F1 transition were analyzed to study the local structure surrounding the Sm2+ ion. It is concluded that the Sm2+ ions are closely coordinated with nine oxygens of the AlO6 group in aluminosilicate glasses and that the addition of Al3+ ions into glass induces an increase in the coordination number of the Sm2+.

用半导体抽运的Q开关YLF倍频激光器抽运钛宝石晶体，在平凹腔内加入组合的石英双折射滤光片压缩线宽，用LBO晶体腔内激发二次谐波，聚焦到BBO上产生四次谐波深紫外光。在抽运功率3．8w时，输出610mW．416nm蓝光。用长焦距的透镜聚焦二次谐波．得到64mW，208nm的紫外激光。基频光的谱线宽度是决定倍频效率的关键因素。实验观察到激光器的频谱宽度与双折射滤光片的带宽有一个数量级的差别，考虑到模式竞争和增益饱和效应，数值模拟了加入双折射滤光片后的钛宝石激光器的实际线宽，结果与实验中测量的数据基本一致。实验还分析了基频光的线宽对二次谐波效率的影响、二次谐波的线宽对四次谐波效率的影响、基频光的波长对四次谐波激发效率的影响。     

Zn~(2+)、Sn~(4+)共取代对YIG铁氧体性能的影响

该文通过1 400℃固相烧结制备出Zn2+和Sn4+共取代的Y3Fe5-2xZnxSnxO12(x=0~0.35)铁氧体材料,详细研究了离子取代量对钇铁石榴石铁氧体微观结构及磁性能的影响。研究表明,Zn2+、Sn4+都进入了钇铁石榴石铁氧体的晶格中。随着离子取代量的增加,钇铁石榴石铁氧体的密度与饱和磁化强度先增大后减小;其磁损耗则先减小后增大,在x=0.25时磁损耗取得最小值。该研究进一步说明了Zn2+和Sn4+取代在一定范围内可有效降低材料的磁损耗及控制材料的饱和磁化强度。
