Self-injected semiconductor distributed feedback lasers for frequency chirp stabilization.
It is well known that semiconductor distributed feedback lasers (DFB) are key devices for optical communications. However direct modulation applications are limited by the frequency chirp induced by current modulation. We demonstrate that a proper external control laser operation leads to chirp-to-power ratio (CPR) stabilization over a wide range of modulation frequencies as compared to the fre...
متن کاملOptical Feedback-Tolerant Gain-Coupled DFB Lasers for Isolator-Free Modules in the Access Networks
Passive optical network topology has been widely adopted in access networks due to its low-cost and yet flexible network structure. To further promote the passive optical networks, the cost reduction of optical modules is critical. Relatively expensive combination of a conventional index-coupled distributed feedback laser diode (IC-DFB-LD) and an optical isolator is commonly used for passive op...
متن کاملPiezoacoustic modulation of gain and distributed feedback for quantum cascade lasers with widely tunable emission wavelength
Due to the piezoelectric properties of III–V materials, an acoustic wave propagating along the optical axis of a unipolar laser produces a periodic modulation of the carrier density and the optical gain, sufficient for providing distributed feedback ~DFB! with a mode suppression ratio exceeding 30 dB. In contrast to bipolar lasers, the piezoelectric modulation of unipolar carrier density is not...
متن کاملSelf-mixing interference effects in tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy
We report the effects of self-mixing interference on gas detection using tunable diode laser spectroscopy. For very weak feedback, the laser diode output intensity gains a sinusoidal modulation analogous to that caused by low finesse etalons in the optical path. Our experiments show that self-mixing interference can arise from both specular reflections (eg cell windows) and diffuse reflections ...
متن کاملContextual Interference Effect in Bandwidth and Self-Control Feedback Conditions on Relative and Absolute Timing Learning
This study aims to better understand the effect of practice schedule and feedback providing types. In two separate experiments the contextual interference effect in bandwidth and self-control feedback conditions on relative and absolute timing learning was examined. In experiment I, the effect of contextual interference using bandwidth and self-control feedback on absolute timing learning (para...
