摘要： A broadband-tunable external fiber-cavity laser system includes a laser diode, and a single-mode optical fiber with an in-line fiber optic grating filter. The grating filter includes a grating with divergent ridges so that the periodicity at an exposed evanescent field can be adjusted by translating the grating transversely with respect to the fiber. The evanescent field of light transmitted along the fiber core is accessed at a side-polished region. The laser preferentially oscillates at the reflected wavelength, so that the laser output is tuned by moving the grating. The grating is manufactured by oblique exposure to a holographic wavefront, producing the divergent pattern.

The periodically filtered broadband light source includes a periodic spectral filter coupled to an optical gain element to generate a light and to filter the light into a plurality of individual spectral slices. The broadband light source includes an isolator coupled to the optical gain element. The periodic filter can be a reflective filter. The periodic filter can adjust an optical power in each of the spectral slices. The periodic filter can include one or more control elements to control an optical power in each of the spectral slices. Further, a wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network system is described that includes the periodic broadband light source to send individual spectral slices to wavelength lock one or more transceivers. The individual spectral slices sent by the periodic broadband light source match wavelength channels of a wavelength division multiplexer/de-multiplexer.

摘要： Monitoring an optical signal utilizing optical heterodyne detection involves attenuating an input signal before the input signal is combined with a local oscillator signal. The input signal is attenuated in order improve the signal to noise ratio of the heterodyne signal that is generated when the input signal and the local oscillator signal are combined. The signal to noise ratio of the heterodyne signal improves with attenuation of the input signal, specifically in the case where the intensity noise from the input signal is the dominant noise source, because the heterodyne signal and the intensity noise of the input signal scale differently with attenuation of the input signal.
