Characterization of Fabry–Perot laser diodes injection locked by spectrum sliced ASE noise in WDM-PON

We experimentally evaluate the performance of Fabry–Perot laser diodes (FPLDs) injection locked by spectrum sliced amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise for transmission at 1.25 Gb/s. We characterize the injection locked FPLDs in terms of front-facet reflectivity, operation temperature, bias current and injection locked mode location. Experiment results show that the FPLD performance is strongly dependent on the front-facet reflectivity. Therefore a reasonable range of front-facet reflectivity for FPLDs is recommended. Operating the lasers at low temperature has better receiver sensitivity, while operating at high temperature has slightly broader operation range for injected ASE power. There is an optimal bias for a given injection power and the operation range for bias current is increased for higher injection power. Injection locked mode location also affects the performance of FPLDs.     

ESD sensitivity of AlGaAs and InGaAsP based Fabry–Perot laser diodes

The sensitivity to electrostatic discharges of Fabry–Perot laser diodes with InGaAsP as active layer material has been tested and compared to Fabry–Perot lasers based on AlGaAs as active layer material. In the case of the forward-bias ESD pulses we observed a substantially lower degradation threshold voltage for the AlGaAs type lasers as compared to the InGaAsP type lasers. A detailed analysis of the optical and electrical parameters before and after ESD test with particular emphasis on the characteristic temperature and optical emission spectra changes has been done. Effective suppression of the optical emission on a ns-time scale due to device heating during the forward-bias ESD pulses has been evidenced by monitoring the light emission during ESD pulses.     

Wavelength-selectable single-longitudinal-mode Fabry–Perot laser source using inter-injection mode-locked technique

In this paper, a simple fiber coupled laser configuration to generate stable and tunable single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) optical output based on a pair of Fabry–Perot laser diode (FP-LD) using inter-injection operation is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. By adjusting the tunable filter inside the laser cavity to align the corresponding mode of the FP-LDs, the lasing wavelength can be tuned in the wavelength range of 1528.6–1562.2 nm with 1.4 nm tuning step. In addition, the output performance of the proposed fiber coupled laser has also been discussed.     

Study on Fabry–Perot cavity consisting of two chirped fiber Bragg gratings

Combined the effective mirror surface model with the transfer matrix method, a detailed theoretical and numerical study on Fabry–Perot cavity consisting of two chirped fiber Bragg gratings is investigated. Results demonstrate that transmission responses of the Fabry–Perot cavity can be adjusted by changing the cascading sequences of the two gratings. When the two gratings are connected in the direction of same chirping, approximately uniform resonance and group delay are exhibited. However, some distinctive non-uniformity of the neighboring resonance peaks intervals is shown if the two gratings are cascaded in the opposite chirping sequences. In addition, for the Fabry–Perot cavity constructed by chirped-fiber-Bragg-gratings with different amplitudes or bandwidths, efficient resonances are achieved only in the common reflection range.

Strong fiber Bragg grating based asymmetric Fabry–Perot sensor system with multiple reflections for high sensitivity enhancement

A fiber Bragg grating based (FBG-based) Fabry–Perot (FP) sensor system utilizing multiple reflections between two strong FBGs with different reflectiveties to enhance the sensitivity is proposed. The different interference signals are obtained by using different multiple-path-matched Michelson interferometers (MIs). The system is lighted by the ultra-narrow line width erbium-doped fiber ring laser and the signal is demodulated by phase-generated carrier (PGC) scheme. The method to choose the optimal parameters of the FBG-based asymmetric FP sensor and the different matching MIs is analyzed. The experimental results show that each matching MI can steadily enhance the sensitivity of the demodulated signal in the bandwidth of 80–8000 Hz. The sensitivity of the system can be enhanced about 19.1 dB when the light reflects nine times between the two FBGs. Further more, this system can be used to extend the dynamic range and the effective working bandwidth and so on.

An asymmetric broad waveguide structure for a 0.98-μm high-conversion-efficiency diode laser

A novel asymmetric broad waveguide diode laser structure was designed for high power conversion efficiency（PCE）.The internal quantum efficiency,the series resistance,and the thermal resistance were theoretically optimized.The series resistance and the thermal resistance were greatly decreased by optimizing the thickness of the P-waveguide and the P-cladding layers.The internal quantum efficiency was increased by introducing a novel strain-compensated GaAs0.9P0.1/InGaAs quantum well.Experimentally,a single 1-cm bar with 20% fill factor and 900 μm cavity length was mounted P-side down on a microchannel-cooled heatsink,and a peak PCE of 60% is obtained at 26.3-W continuous wave output power.The results prove that this novel asymmetric waveguide structure design is an efficient approach to improve the PCE.

Voltage–frequency converter for laser welding control

An experimental model of a voltage–frequency converter was realised and utilised for the control of the thermal behaviour by the laser welding of thermoplastic polymer materials. The input signal of 0–10?V comes from a thermal–optical real-time analysing device of the welding process. The output signal of 0–300?Hz is introduced to the input interface of a laser welding equipment, for setting the laser pulse frequency. Operation tests were performed on the laser welding equipment type HL 124P LCU. The pulses have rectangular waveform, with the amplitude of 20?V. The frequency is very stable, with deviations of less than 0.5?Hz. The waveform and the frequency response at the converter output are appropriate.     

Effect of hydrogen on interface of metal–semiconductor Schottky diode

The effect of hydrogen on p-type Si/Mn and Si/Co Schottky diode has been investigated in present studies. The variations of I–V characteristics suggested that the rectifying act of these diodes change with variation of hydrogen pressure, which is due to the diffusion of hydrogen through the Mn and Co metal films up to Si surface or a creation of surface states at the interface. It is also observed that the effect of hydrogen found to be reverse in order for forward as well as reverse direction of current in Mn and Co deposited films on Si substrate, corresponding to anionic and protonic model of hydrogen interaction with metals. One can say that hydrogen plays an amphoteric role to neutralize either donors or acceptors level in semiconductors and metals. The Raman spectra of Si/Mn and Si/Co are taken and stoke lines link with the presence of hydrogen is observed. In this paper, we are presenting the role of hydrogen pressure on I–V characteristics at the interface of metal–semiconductor structure.
