چکیده
In this paper we present our recent works on optical injection of Fabry-Perot laser diode for application in access networks. The injection-locked Fabry-Perot laser diode is used as low-cost colorless transmitters for high-speed optical access exploiting wavelength-division-multiplexing technology. The modification of main characteristics of Fabry-Perot laser such as spectral properties, noise and modulation is shown in injection-locking regime. The strong dependence of these properties onto injection parameters is also given. Finally, the operation of injection-locked Fabry-Perot laser diode in a wavelength-division-multiplexed optical access system using a novel multi-wavelength master source based on quantum-dash mode-locked laser is presented and its transmission performances at 2.5 Gb/s are reported.

Using four wavelength-multiplexed self-seeding Fabry-Perot lasers for 10 Gbps upstream traffic in TDM-PON.
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...

Wideband and frequency-tunable microwave signal generation using an optoelectronic oscillator incorporating a Fabry-Perot laser diode (FP-LD) with external optical injection is proposed and demonstrated. Through external injection, the FP-LD functions as a tunable high-Q photonic microwave filter, and the frequency tuning is realized by either tuning the wavelength of the externally injected op...
متن کاملExternal Optical Modulator Using a Low-cost Fabry-Perot LD for Multicasting in a WDM-PON
An external optical modulation using absorption nulls in a Fabry-Perot laser diode (FP-LD), has been proposed and experimentally demonstrated for multicasting in a WDM-PON. The center wavelengths of absorption nulls in an FP-LD move to short-wavelength rapidly by only a small current (~1 mA) injection. If the current injection is stopped, the nulls move back to the original position. Such a mov...

In a previous paper we described details of the construction of stabilized 670-nm diode lasers for use in undergraduate physics laboratories. We report here a series of experiments that can be performed using the 670-nm diode laser, a homemade scanning Fabry-Perot cavity, a helium-neon laser, a simple photodiode, and a few pieces of electronics hardware. The experiments include: 1) an introduct...

Tunable filters with a wide tunable range that cover the whole C-band , or L-band, or both, have been found wide applications in fiber optical communication system, mainly in three domain: tunable laser, wavelength division multiplexing systems (WDM), and channel monitoring. Due to the growing demand in bit-rate and number of channels in WDM system, tunable narrow band pass filters are required...
