摘要: A tunable solid state laser device are described comprising a semiconductor based gain chip and a silicon photonic filter chip with tuning capability. The silicon photonic filter chip can comprises an input-output silicon waveguide, at least two ring resonators formed with silicon waveguides, one or more connecting silicon waveguides interfacing with the ring resonators, a separate heater associated with each ring resonator, a temperature sensor configured to measure the chip temperature, and a controller connected to the temperature sensor and the separate heaters and programmed with a feedback loop to maintain the filter temperature to provide the tuned frequency. The one or more connecting silicon waveguides are configured to redirect light resonant with each of the at least two ring resonators back through the input-output silicon waveguide. Corresponding methods are described for the control of the laser frequency. Improved structures of the SiPho multiple filter chip involve a Zagnac interferometer.

摘要: A tunable laser includes a housing having a sealable accommodating cavity, an optical interface and an electrical interface disposed on the housing, a tunable semiconductor laser apparatus, a splitter component, and a photodetector. The tunable semiconductor laser apparatus is disposed in the accommodating cavity for emitting an optical signal whose wavelength is tunable. An electrical signal inputted through the electrical interface controls the tunable semiconductor laser apparatus to emit the optical signal. The optical signal is outputted through the optical interface. The splitter component and the photodetector are disposed outside the housing. The optical signal is split into at least two beams of light by the splitter component after the optical signal is outputted through the optical interface. The photodetector is configured to receive one of the beams of light to monitor the optical signal emitted by the tunable semiconductor laser apparatus.

摘要: A hand-held bioanalytic instrument is described that can perform massively parallel sample analysis including single-molecule gene sequencing. The instrument includes a pulsed optical source that produces ultrashort excitation pulses and a compact beam-steering assembly. The beam-steering assembly provides automated alignment of excitation pulses to an interchangeable bio-optoelectronic chip that contains tens of thousands of reaction chambers or more. The optical source, beam-steering assembly, bio-optoelectronic chip, and coupling optics register to an alignment structure in the instrument that can form at least one wall of an enclosure and dissipate heat.

摘要: A laser system includes a high voltage AC-to-DC power converter and one or more current sources coupled to the power converter without a DC-to-DC converter between the current sources and the power converter. Each of the current sources includes a high voltage switch and one or more independent safety shutoffs. A laser module is operably coupled to the one or more current source and configured to emit electromagnetic radiation wherein the one or more safety shutoffs are configured to disable emission of electromagnetic radiation from the laser module when triggered. A current source controller coupled to the safety shutoff(s) is configured to generate enabling signals that enable normal current source operation. The controller includes circuitry configured to measure power across the high voltage switch when the controller instructs the high voltage switch to turn off to determine proper operation of the safety shutoff(s).
