Electroabsorption modulator-integrated distributed Bragg reflector laser diode for C-band WDM-based networks

We report an electroabsorption modulator (EAM)-integrated distributed Bragg reflector laser diode (DBR-LD) capable of supporting a high data rate and a wide wavelength tuning. The DBR-LD contains two tuning elements, plasma and heater tunings, both of which are implemented in the DBR section, which have blue-shift and red-shift in the Bragg wavelength through a current injection, respectively. The light created from the DBR-LD is intensity-modulated through the EAM voltage, which is integrated monolithically with the DBR-LD using a butt–joint coupling method. The fabricated chip shows a threshold current of approximately 8 mA, tuning range of greater than 30 nm, and static extinction ratio of higher than 20 dB while maintaining a side mode suppression ratio of greater than 40 dB under a window of 1550 nm. To evaluate its modulation properties, the chip was bonded onto a mount including a radiofrequency line and a load resistor showing clear eye openings at data rates of 25 Gb/s nonreturn-to-zero and 50 Gb/s pulse amplitude modulation 4-level, respectively.     

嵌埋材料对分布式布拉格反射镜腔共振模式的影响

低维材料嵌入微腔已经广泛应用于纳米激光器和探测器等。为了实现增益材料和光学微腔之间的有效耦合,需要深入研究嵌埋材料对腔共振模式的影响。本文主要讨论了嵌埋材料的厚度、位置、腔层厚度以及分布式布拉格反射镜的对数对腔供着模式的影响。结果表明,腔共振模式随嵌埋材料位置的不同呈现周期性变化并且在λ/2光程周期内存在最大峰位移。最大峰位移随腔层厚度增加而减小,但与嵌埋材料的厚度成正比。分布式布拉格反射镜的对数不影响腔共振模式。这些结果为光学器件的设计和实验现象的分析提供了指导,并且可以应用于不同波长分布式布拉格反射腔结构。     

基于布拉格反射镜的单模太赫兹量子级联激光器

常规的分布式布拉格反射（DBR）半导体激光器中,增益区域所对应的自由谱间距应大于DBR高反射率带宽的1/2,以获得稳定的单模激射。该条件限制了DBR激光器的阈值和功率特性。文章首次提出并实现了基于DBR选模的太赫兹量子级联激光器（THz-QCL）,并突破了上述限制。作者所实现的THz-QCL采用脊波导结构,利用解理腔面和DBR反射镜构成谐振腔,利用有源区增益谱较窄的特点,通过调整DBR反射率谱使增益谱与DBR高反射带在频域中部分重叠,从而获得了单模激射的THz-QCL。该方案使得DBR高反射带显著宽于自由谱间距,即显著提高了激光器中增益区域的长度,从而降低阈值并提高功率特性。实验上,作者研制出增益区域长达3.6 mm的DBR激光器,单模激射的频率为2.7 THz,边模抑制比达到25 dB,该激光器的阈值和温度特性与相同材料制备的法布里-泊罗腔多模激光器相当。文章中的工作为实现高性能单模太赫兹量子级联激光器提供了新的研究思路。     

Efficiency enhancement of InGaN/GaN light-emitting diodes with a back-surface distributed bragg reflector

The design, fabrication, and performance characteristics of a back-surface distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) enhanced InGaN/GaN light-emitting diode (LED) are described. A wide reflectance bandwidth in the blue and green wavelength regions is obtained using a double quarter-wave stack design composed of TiO₂ and SiO₂ layers. More than 65% enhancement in extracted light intensity is demonstrated for a blue LED measured at the chip level. Similar improvement in green LED performance is discussed and achieved through simulation. Possible applications of back-surface DBR-enhanced LEDs include surface-mount packages with significantly reduced vertical profiles, resonant cavity LEDs, and superluminescent diodes.

Effect of Bragg reflector on the threshold current density in AlGaInP visible laser

The GalnP/AlGalnP layers are known as attractive materials for 600 nm band laser diodes. In this paper, a Bragg reflector between GaAs substrate and n-cladding layer was applied for the reduction in the lasing threshold. In a SCH-MQW structure, a Bragg reflector was composed of alternating λ/4n layers of AlAs and AlGaAs layers, 12.5 pairs. The effect of Bragg reflector on the threshold current and spontaneous emission intensity was appreciable because most of spontaneously emitted photons were reflected from a Bragg reflector and carriers were regenerated in the GalnP active layer.

Polarimetric distributed Bragg reflector fiber laser sensor array for simultaneous measurement of transverse load and temperature

A polarimetric fiber laser sensor array based on wavelength/beat frequency hybrid interrogation approach for simultaneous measurement of transverse load and temperature is presented and experimentally demonstrated. Operation principle of the hybrid interrogation approach has been theoretically analyzed, which is validated by our experimental results. The shift of beat frequency and laser wavelength in response to the change of transverse load and temperature allows for simultaneous dual-parameter discrimination. Experimental results indicate that laser beat frequency is highly sensitive to transverse load and temperature while laser wavelength is insensitive to transverse load. And the temperature sensitivities of laser wavelength have the same magnitude as common FBG sensors. The proposed active sensor array with simple configuration has considerable potential applications for future fiber sensor networks.
