    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: A broadband partial reflector is located downstream from an optical combiner device. The partial reflector reflects a portion of the combined light back through the combiner device and back into the respective optical pump sources. There are no fiber gratings or other filters between the sources and the combiner device. Consequently, the sources are locked and/or stabilized according to the acceptance bandpass characteristics of the input ports of the combiner device. Since no gratings or other filters need to be located between the sources and the combiner device, the problem of insertion power loss due to spectral mismatch at the input ports can be avoided. In other words, self-aligned wavelength feedback stabilization is accomplished by reflecting a portion of the combined light signal back through the input ports of the combiner device.
