Narrow-Linewidth Distributed Feedback Channel

چکیده
We report on the fabrication and characterization of a distributed feedback channel waveguide laser in erbium-doped aluminium oxide on a standard thermally oxidized silicon substrate. Holographically-written surface-relief Bragg gratings have been integrated with the aluminium oxide waveguides via reactive ion etching of a silicon dioxide overlay film. The laser operates at a wavelength of 1545.2 nm and exhibits a threshold of 2.2 mW absorbed pump power, while it produces a maximum output power of 3 mW. The emission is TE polarized and has a Lorentzian linewidth of 1.70±0.58 kHz, which corresponds to a Q-factor of 1.14×10.

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.

We describe reproducible growth of multiple quantum well graded index separate confinement distributed feedback (MQWGRIN-SCH-DFB) lasers by atmospheric pressure metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). Epitaxial layers were grown directly on a first order grating prepared on a (100) n-InP substrate. The gratings were preserved by introducing a suitable mixture of AsH 3 and PH3 into the reactor...
متن کاملSingle-frequency narrow-linewidth Tm-doped fiber laser using silicate glass fiber.
Single-frequency laser operation near 2 microm has been demonstrated in an all-fiber short-cavity (2-6 cm) distributed feedback laser cavity using both cladding- and core-pump configurations in a newly developed heavily Tm-doped multicomponent silicate glass fiber. Using a single-mode Er-doped fiber laser at 1575 nm as a core-pump source, a 2-cm-long distributed Bragg reflector fiber laser deli...
متن کاملDynamic properties of quantum dot distributed feedback lasers: high speed, linewidth and chirp
The dynamic properties of distributed feedback lasers (DFBs) based on InAs/InGaAs quantum dots (QDs) are studied. The response function of QD DFBs under external modulation is measured, and the gain compression with photon density is identified to be the limiting factor of the modulation bandwidth. The enhancement of the gain compression by the gain saturation with the carrier density in QDs is...
