چکیده
We present, to the best of our knowledge, the first demonstration of a narrow linewidth, waveguide-based Brillouin laser that is enabled by large Brillouin gain of a chalcogenide chip. The waveguides are equipped with vertical tapers for low-loss coupling. Due to optical feedback for the Stokes wave, the lasing threshold is reduced to 360 mW, which is five times lower than the calculated single-pass Brillouin threshold for the same waveguide. The slope efficiency of the laser is found to be 30%, and the linewidth of 100 kHz is measured using a self-heterodyne method.

Characterization of a high coherence, Brillouin microcavity laser on silicon.
Recently, a high efficiency, narrow-linewidth, chip-based stimulated Brillouin laser (SBL) was demonstrated using an ultra-high-Q, silica-on-silicon resonator. In this work, this novel laser is more fully characterized. The Schawlow Townes linewidth formula for Brillouin laser operation is derived and compared to linewidth data, and the fitting is used to measure the mechanical thermal quanta c...
متن کاملLow-noise Brillouin laser on a chip at 1064 nm.
We demonstrate narrow-linewidth-stimulated Brillouin lasers at 1064 nm from ultra-high-Q silica wedge disk resonators on silicon. Fundamental Schawlow-Townes frequency noise of the laser is on the order of 0.1 Hz2/Hz. The technical noise spectrum of the on-chip Brillouin laser is close to the thermodynamic noise limit of the resonator (thermorefractive noise) and is comparable to that of ultra-...

We report the first demonstration of a photonic chip based dynamically reconfigurable, widely tunable, narrow pass-band, high Q microwave photonic filter (MPF). We exploit stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in a 6.5 cm long chalcogenide (As2S3) photonic chip to demonstrate a MPF that exhibited a high quality factor of ~520 and narrow bandwidth and was dynamically reconfigurable and widely tu...
متن کاملGeneration of High Power Levels of Narrow Linewidth 1178 Nm via Raman Amplification of the Second Stokes
There is interest in frequency doubling a 1178 nm narrow linewidth fiber laser source for sodium guidestar laser applications. 1178 nm can be generated via the following methods documented in the scientific literature and patents: 1. Direct lasing of Yb doped fiber [1]; 2. Direct lasing of photonic bandgap fiber [2]; 3. Generation of 1178 nm via the Raman process [3]; and 4. Lasing of a semicon...
متن کاملAbstract—Narrow linewidth THz generation using a cascaded Brillouin fibre laser structure and a unitraveling carrier
Narrow linewidth THz generation using a cascaded Brillouin fibre laser structure and a unitraveling carrier photodiode is proposed. Using two distributed feedback lasers separated by > 1 THz with 1 MHz initial linewidth, the linewidth of the realized THz source is found to be < 100 Hz at 1014.7 GHz without use of any active stabilization of the laser cavity or any microwave reference.
