    摘要: In a tunable optical source, a zone plate device 100 is used to provide frequency selective feedback to a laser diode 110. The zone plate device 100 is positioned to receive an output mode of the laser diode 110 and to return a frequency selected image of the mode spot to the laser diode 110. By changing the refractive index of material of the zone plate device 100, it is possible to change the frequency providing the image at the point of return to the laser diode 110. This allows the zone plate device 100 to be used in tuning the optical source, without using moving parts. In an embodiment, the zonc plate device 100 is at least partially fabricated in an electro-optic material such as SBN:75 and can therefore be tuned by using electrodes to apply an electric field across it. The zone plate device 100 can be coupled directly to the laser diode 110 or via a waveguide section 105 which can be used to increase the output mode spot size from the laser diode 110 for delivery to the zone plate device 100. The zone plate device 100 can alternatively be used as a standalone component for filtering optical radiation from other sources or as a switch for switching the intensity or wavelength of optical radiation between different values. Tunable or switchable optical devices can be used for instance in communications, such as in wavelength division multiplexing.

    摘要: Dispositif de diffraction d'ondes lumineuses formé d'une couche diélectrique (4), d'une structure réfléchissante (12) agencée à une face inférieure (10) de cette couche et d'un réseau de diffraction (8) agencé à une face (6) de cette couche. La hauteur (H) de la couche est sélectionnée de manière à ce que la condition de résonance pour un mode à fuite dans cette couche pour au moins une onde incidente donnée, ayant une longueur d'onde λ et un angle d'incidence déterminé, soit sensiblement satisfaite. Ensuite, le réseau de diffraction présente une période spatiale sélectionnée pour que l'onde incidente soit diffractée essentiellement selon le premier ordre négatif de diffraction et sous angle de diffraction différent de l'angle d'incidence (hors de la condition de Littrow).
    Il est prévu en particulier que soit l'angle d'incidence, soit l'angle de diffraction soit élevé, c'est-à-dire relativement proche de 90° depuis la direction normale au réseau de diffraction. Ce dispositif de diffraction permet d'obtenir une efficacité de diffraction très élevée, jusqu'à 100 %, même lorsque l'onde incidente est rasante.

Therefore, a semiconductor laser device which oscillates at desired light outputs at two or more wavelengths by quite a simple construction can be obtained.

    摘要: The invention relates to an electronically adjustable Bragg-grating filter module (FM) which comprises a piezoelectric actuator (1) with which the length of the Bragg-grating filter (3) can be modified. The change in length of the Bragg-grating filter can be precisely measured by means of a strain gauge (4). Since the centre frequency of the Bragg-grating filter (3) depends on its length this permits an indirect adjustment of the frequency. The above filter is especially suitable for remote-controlled add-drop modules (ADM). To eliminate the influences of the piezoelectric element during adjustment of the Bragg-grating filter frequency adjustment is carried out by means of a regulator circuit.

    摘要: The invention relates to a vertical resonator laser diode (10, 20). An active series of layers (3) is arranged between a first Bragg reflector layer series (2) and a second Bragg reflector layer series (4) in order to produce laser irradiation. Each Bragg reflector layer series is provided with a plurality of mirror pairs (22, 44). The two Bragg reflector layer series (2, 4) form a laser resonator. The two Bragg reflector layer series (2, 4) and the active series of layers (3) are arranged between a first (7) and a second electrical contact layer (8). One (4) of the two Bragg reflector layer series (2, 4) is partially permeable for laser irradiation which is produced in the active series of layers (3). At least one light absorbing layer (9) with a defined light absorption is arranged between the partially permeable Bragg reflector layer series (4) and the first electrical contact layer (7) or on the light emitting side of the first electrical contact layer (7).

    摘要: A vertical cavity surface emitting laser, VCSEL, (2) with variable tuning layer (10) for adjusting the slope of the laser (2) and method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. In practice, a VCSEL wafer is grown by any conventional technique, and fabricated into discrete lasers (2) while maintained in wafer form. The initial lasers (2) are then tested to determine characteristics, such as the slope efficiency distribution to within a target specification by altering the phase of the top facet reflectivity of the initial lasers (2). The resulting change in transmission directly changes the laser slope in a predictable fashion. The tuning step may be repeated, if necessary, to further refine the slope to the desired value. The method produces VCSELs (2) with similar or consistent slopes from a plurality of wafers. Also disclosed are an optical subassembly (110) and optical transceiver (130) incorporating the improved VCSELs.
