摘要: A fully integrated photonic coherent microwave generator includes an external laser cavity on a suitable material waveguide platform (e.g., LiNbO3) operationally integrated with a III-V gain element. Operational components include a tunable high-Q resonator (e.g., LiNbO3 microresonator) and one or more end mirrors to form an integrated semiconductor external-cavity laser. Operationally coupled electrical components enable coherent microwave and phase-locked laser comb outputs as follows. An optical detector converts the beating of generated laser-comb modes into microwaves with a fundamental frequency equal to the free-spectral range fR of the microresonator. The external laser cavity enables high-speed electro-optic modulation of laser modes directly inside the laser cavity. Phase locking of the lasing modes is accomplished via electro-optic modulation and electro-optic comb generation directly inside the laser cavity. Highly coherent microwaves are generated via phase-locked comb-like lasing modes.

摘要: An amplified spontaneous emission, ASE, source device combining a superluminescent light emitting diode, SLED, with a semiconductor optical amplifier, SOA, the SLED and SOA being arranged in series so that the SLED acts as a seed and the SOA acts as a broadband amplifier for the SLED output. Both SLED and SOA have a structure made up of a succession of epitaxial semiconductor layers which form a waveguide comprising a core of active region layers and surrounding cladding layers. The SLED and SOA confinement factors of the SLED and SOA, wherein confinement factor is the percentage of the optical mode power in the active region layers, is designed so that the SLED confinement factor is greater than that of the SOA by at least 20%. This allow higher power outputs, because the SLED power limits imposed by the onset of non-linear effects and catastrophic optical damage can be circumvented.

摘要: The present disclosure discloses a miniaturized MOPA structure DPSSL (Diode Pumped Solid State Laser), which comprises a laser oscillator module and a laser amplifier module. The laser oscillator module consists of a seed laser and its collimating system, and the laser amplifier module consists of a laser pump module and a laser gain element. The seed laser with high beam quality is collimated by collimation system, then input into the gain element; the pump laser is pumped into the gain element via end pump or side pump mode. The seed laser beam transmits into the gain medium and is reflected by the interface several times with the “Zigzag” path, which makes the seed laser fully gained and amplified, finally achieving high power and high beam quality laser output.
In this present disclosure, the laser gain material is doped with different rare-earth ion concentrations and processed into different shapes. Some polishing surfaces of the gain material are deposited with different coatings including HR coating and AR coating, on the one hand, to improve the absorption efficiency of the pump laser, on the other hand, to make the seeds laser in the gain element achieve longer transmission distance by Zigzag transmission path, so that the energy in the gain medium can be fully extracted. And finally, achieve high power laser output.
The present disclosure can adopt the host material doped at least at the same time with Er and Yb elements as the laser gain medium, adopt high-quality 1.55-micron or other medium emission peak band seed laser source as well as end or side pump mode, and can realize the laser output with high power and high beam quality.
Compared with the MOPA laser of the prior art, the present disclosure has the advantages of simple structure, small volume, and low cost.-
