A Simple Half-Duplex Optical Link Using Two Identical Fabry–Pérot Lasers at 1.55μm Wavelength
نویسنده
چکیده
We report on a simple bidirectional optical link using two InP-based Fabry–Pérot (FP) lasers operating at 1.55μm wavelength as optical transmitter and receiver. Since the emitted light of one FP laser is absorbed by the other when it is reverse biased, no additional photodiode is required. The optoelectronic devices are butt-coupled to single-mode fibers (SMFs). With this configuration, up to 100Mbit/s operation over a 50 km-long standard SMF is demonstrated. The optical link length is limited by fiber attenuation and coupling losses. In addition, we suggest a simple electrical driver circuit which acts as an interface between a RS 232 computer port and the FP laser. It enables half-duplex operation. A combined transimpedance receiver circuit improves the sensitivity of the optical system and allows successful bidirectional communication of two personal computers (PCs) over 100 km of SMF.

Enhanced Modulation Bandwidth of a Fabry–Pérot Semiconductor Laser Subject to Light Injection From Another Fabry–Pérot Laser
Variations in optical spectrum and modulation bandwidth of a modulated Fabry–Pérot (FP) semiconductor laser subject to the external light injection from another FP Laser is investigated in this paper. Optimal wavelength matching conditions for two FP lasers are discussed. A series of experiments show that two FP lasers should have a central wavelength overlapping and a mode spacing difference o...
متن کاملUse of Fabry-Pérot lasers for simultaneous distributed strain and temperature sensing based on hybrid Raman and Brillouin scattering
In this paper we propose the use of multi-longitudinal mode lasers, such as Fabry-Pérot (FP) lasers, for simultaneous distributed strain and temperature sensing based on hybrid Brillouin and Raman scattering. Fabry-Pérot lasers allow for high-power Raman intensity measurement and the simultaneous detection of the Brillouin frequency shift parameter for all FP longitudinal modes, by using a self...

Injection locking of Fabry-Pérot lasers and the temperature dependence of their emission in self- seeded WDM passive optical networks
The influence of temperature on coated (2%) and uncoated Fabry-Pérot laser output in a proposed colorless WDM system with self-seeding via modulation averaging reflector is studied. In particular, the connection between the information about the optical laser output from the laser integrated monitor photodetector and optical power output of the entire system with temperature change of the laser...

In this paper, we propose and experimentally investigate a simple self-injection Fabry-Perot laser scheme on each optical network unit (ONU) for 10 Gbps TDM passive optical networks (PONs). Based on the proposed four wavelength-multiplexed 2.5 Gbps lasers, the 10 Gbps uplink traffic can be achieved at a cost-effective way. The network architecture and performance have also been analyzed and dis...
