Distributed feedback-distributed Bragg reflector coupled cavity laser with a Ti:(Fe:)Er:LiNbO3 waveguide.

چکیده
A thermally fixed photorefractive Bragg grating is written in a single-mode Ti:Fe:Er:LiNbO3 channel waveguide and used to develop a distributed feedback-distributed Bragg reflector coupled cavity laser with a second broadband dielectric cavity mirror. The optically pumped (lambda(p) = 1480 nm, P = 130 mW) laser emits in single-frequency operation as much as 8 mW at lambda = 1557.2 nm with a slope efficiency of approximately 22%. The laser wavelength can be thermo-optically and electro-optically tuned over 100 pm.

Erbium-doped Lithium Niobate waveguide lasers: recent progress
Erbium diffusion doping of LiNbO3 (e.g. 30 nm / 1130 °C / 150 hrs) is the preferred method to fabricate an excellent laser material for integrated optics. After Er-doping single mode channel waveguides are defined by the standard indiffusion technique of Ti-stripes. By optical pumping at λ = 1480 nm a wavelenth dependent gain of up to 2 dB/cm is achieved (1530 nm < λ < 1610 nm). Different types...
متن کاملResonant pumped erbium-doped waveguide lasers using distributed Bragg reflector cavities.
This Letter reports on an optical pumping scheme, termed resonant pumping, for an erbium-doped distributed feedback (DFB) waveguide laser. The scheme uses two mirrors on either side of the DFB laser, forming a pump cavity that recirculates the unabsorbed pump light. Symmetric distributed Bragg reflectors are used as the mirrors and are designed by matching the external and internal quality fact...
متن کاملPassive microring-resonator-coupled lasers
In this letter, a passive microring-resonator-coupled semiconductor laser structure is proposed. The weakly coupled high-Q microring resonator provides a strong mode-selection filter and could considerably extend the effective cavity length of a conventional Fabry–Perot laser. The side-mode suppression ratio, the linewidth and the frequency chirp of this laser are dramatically improved comparin...
متن کاملErbium-doped waveguide DBR and DFB laser arrays integrated within an ultra-low-loss Si3N4 platform.
Record low optical threshold power and high slope efficiency are reported for arrays of distributed Bragg reflector lasers integrated within an ultra-low-loss Si(3)N(4) planar waveguide platform. Additionally, arrays of distributed feedback laser designs are presented that show improvements in pump-to-signal conversion efficiency of over two orders of magnitude beyond that found in previously p...
متن کاملUnidirectional III-V microdisk lasers heterogeneously integrated on SOI.
We demonstrate unidirectional bistability in microdisk lasers electrically pumped and heterogeneously integrated on SOI. The lasers operate in continuous wave regime at room temperature and are single mode. Integrating a passive distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) on the waveguide to which the microdisk is coupled feeds laser emission back into the laser cavity. This introduces an extra unidirect...
