Continuously wavelength-tunable MQW fabry-perot laser diode pulse source with a fiber-based external cavity

A simple continuously wavelength-tunable fiber ring laser pulse source is demonstrated. Such a source employs a gain-switched multiple quantum-well Fabry-Perot laser diode in a self-seeding scheme and the output pulse wavelength can be tuned continuously via a tunable optical filter. The optical pulses generated exhibit a pulsewidth of 92 ps at the frequency of 2.6 GHz. Within a wide wavelength tuning range of 46 nm, the side-mode suppression ratio and the average power of the output optical pulses obtained are higher than 50.1 dB and 3.3 dBm, respectively, and the pulse spectral stability can be maintained in the whole wavelength tuning range.     

80-160-GHz mode-locked fiber ring laser synchronized to external optical pulse stream

The authors present a novel scheme to generate ultrahigh repetition rate picosecond pulses synchronized to an optical pulse stream in an actively mode-locked fiber ring laser. A monolithic Mach-Zehnder interferometer with integrated semiconductor optical amplifiers serves as an 80-GHz optically controlled modulator. 80-GHz transform-limited 2.1-ps Gaussian pulse with low timing jitter, extinction ratios up to 25 dB, and 5 mW of average output power are demonstrated. The laser is wavelength tunable over more than 15 nm around 1555 nm. At 160 GHz, 2.5-ps pulse trains with 3-mW output power are generated by rational harmonic mode locking.

A mutual pulse injection-seeding scheme is developed to produce wavelength-tunable optical short pulses by the use of two Fabry-Perot laser diodes, of which one is gain-switched and the other is dc biased. Wavelength tuning of the optical pulses is achieved by simply adjusting a tunable optical filter while maintaining a constant repetition frequency of 3.0 GHz. The sidemode suppression ratio obtained is more than 30 dB over the wavelength-tuning range of 19 nm. The system is simple and robust.     

Tunable dual-wavelength picosecond pulse generation using multiple-optical-path self-seeding approach

A simple system is developed to generate tunable dual-wavelength optical pulses by self-injection seeding of a laser diode. The wavelengths are selected by controlling two light paths incident on a single diffraction grating. The spectral separation has been tuned from 1.8 to 16.1 nm while maintaining an output side-mode-suppression-ratio (SMSR) over 21 dB. This multiple-optical-path self-seeding approach is simple and efficient, thus providing an attractive alternative to generate tunable multiwavelength pulses.
