摘要： According to embodiments of the present invention, an external cavity laser includes one or more tuning elements. At least one modulated voltage signal or dither is used to lock the transmission peak of the two tuning elements to each other. The wavelength of the laser also may lock onto the lock transmission peaks. In embodiments in which two dither signals are used, the dither signals may be orthogonal to or independent of each other. The two dither signals may produce two control signals to align the transmission peak of one filter to the transmission peak of another filter and the lasing mode of the laser to the aligned filters.

摘要： A servo technique for concurrently providing wavelength locking and stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) suppression in an external cavity laser. Respective wavelength locking and SBS suppression signals are generated by a controller and combined into a composite drive signal. The composite drive signal is used to drive an optical path length adjustment element to modulate the optical path length of the laser cavity. The wavelength locking and SBS suppression portions of the drive signals produce concurrent modulations of the laser optical path length having different modulation frequencies and causing different frequency (wavelength) excursions. These modulations produce corresponding wavelength and intensity amplitude modulations in the laser's output. A feedback signal indicative of the intensity amplitude modulations is filtered to attenuate the portion of the signal due to the SBS suppression modulation, and is received as a tuning feedback signal by the controller. In response, the control provides a tuning adjustment signal to adjust the frequency of the laser.

摘要： Method and apparatus for producing a laser output having stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) suppression characteristics. An excitation signal is provided to an optical path length adjustment element in an external cavity laser to modulate the optical path length of the cavity. This produces a laser output having a wavelength modulation frequency and line width that are a function of the frequency and amplitude of the excitation signal. Under appropriate modulation frequency and line width combinations, the laser output comprises an optical signal with SBS suppression characteristics, thus enabling a higher power signal to be launched into a fiber link since the SBS suppression characteristics raise the SBS threshold of the link. The optical path length modulation also produces an intensity (amplitude) modulation in the laser output. A detector is employed to produce a feedback signal indicative of the intensity modulation that is used for tuning the laser in accordance with a wavelength locking servo loop.
