    摘要: A semiconductor laser having a single transverse mode operation. Optical power higher than that generated by conventional pump lasers is achieved by widening the gain medium without inducing the second transverse mode. This is accomplished by providing a small refractive index difference between active and blocking regions of the laser. The refractive index difference between the laser active region material and the laser blocking region material at the fundamental frequency is less than about 0.029.

    摘要: The invention is an optical apparatus and method of fabrication wherein an optical device such as a semiconductor laser includes a grating and a waveguide optically coupled to the grating. At least a portion of the waveguide coupled to the grating has a width which varies along the length of the waveguide in such a manner as to broaden the spectral line width of light output from the device. The width can be varied according to linear, sinusoidal or saw-tooth functions. A broadened line width permits pumping of a Raman amplifier at a high power without inducing any significant Brillouin Scattering.

    摘要: An optical subassembly comprises a two-dimensional semiconductor laser array having a plurality of laser diodes arranged in rows and columns. The laser diodes are configured to provide laser lights at a first and a second direction. A first lenslet module is disposed adjacent the semiconductor laser array, such that light emitted from the laser array in the first direction is collected by the lenslet module. The lenslet module is further configured to focus the collected light at a given first focal point that may be disposed on a receiving end of a fiber optic. A second lenslet module is disposed adjacent the semiconductor laser array, such that light emitted from the laser array in the second direction is collected by the second lenslet module. The second lenslet module is further configured to focus said collected light at a given second focal point disposed at the receiving end of a photodetector.

    摘要: Semiconductor lasers are susceptible to harmful high currents or high voltage electrical transients. Semiconductor pump lasers are especially vulnerable to electrical transients under normal operation because of the large continuous wave current needed to drive the semiconductor pump laser to achieve a high optical power. A protection circuit for 980 nm pump lasers using a non-linear voltage-dependent resistance means which limits drive current based on a drive voltage powering a laser diode is demonstrated to be effective in guarding the laser against harmful electrical transients.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a large area single-mode (LASM) laser system that provides a laser having a wider gain region and thus a higher power output without introducing the second transverse mode into the optical signal. The laser system of the present invention also reduces the laser junction temperature, thereby improving the reliability of the laser and of laser systems constructed therefrom. The present invention also provides a stabilized spectrum in an optical signal by providing a means for feeding back from an external fiber grating to the laser only a single mode and a selective spectrum of an optical signal generated by the laser.

    摘要: A lens system for use with elliptical optical sources includes a spherical fiber lens disposed beyond a conventional confocal lens arrangement. The spherical fiber lens is disposed in the optical path at the point where the slow axis (X ray) crosses the fast axis (Y ray); the rays will be "circular" and will thereafter propagate as a circular wavefront. The coupling efficiency of such a system is thus improved from approximately 40% to over 80%. The radius of the spherical endface of the fiber lens may be adjusted to improve the coupling efficiency. The spherical fiber lens is easily formed by fusing a section of "coreless" silica fiber onto the endface of a conventional single mode fiber. The end of the silica fiber is thereafter prepared (by heating, etching, polishing, or laser machining, for example) to provide a spherical endface with the desired radius.
