Low-voltage tunable TE/TM converter on ion-sliced lithium niobate thin film

Lift-off of a prefabricated thin-film lithium niobate device using ion slicing has been demonstrated. The device is a low-voltage electro-optically tunable TE/TM mode converter, which is fabricated on a sliced 10 /spl mu/m-thick film. A new electrode configuration allows this thin-film device low-voltage tuning of the mode conversion wavelength at 0.26 nm/V. The high tuning per volt is attributed to an improved overlap integral in the thin-film form of the device.     

Rapid, Precise, and Stable Control of Optical Frequency for SG-DBR LD Using Quartz Etalon

This paper presents rapid, precise, and stable control of optical frequency for sampled-grating distributed Bragg reflector (SG-DBR) laser diode (LD) using a Z-cut quartz etalon supported at the middle point. The optical frequency of SG-DBR LD was controlled by the mode-hop-free three-electrode control method. As a result, stable mode operation and wide continuous tuning range without mode hopping have been realized. A 0.2-ms optical frequency tuning speed with a 4.35-THz tuning range and a 130-MHz control error of the optical frequency was demonstrated. A 1.1-MHz Allan deviation was reached at an integration time of 12 times 10³ s.     

Alternate and simultaneous generation of 1-GHz dual-wavelengthpulses from an electrically tunable harmonically mode-locked fiber laser

A new scheme of producing dual-wavelength mode-locked pulses from a fiber laser is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. In addition to the simultaneous generation of two selected wavelength components, the scheme also allows the alternate generation of mode-locked pulses at different wavelengths. The alternate switching of wavelengths is demonstrated at 1 GHz, and has been achieved over an electrical tuning range of 13.1 nm using the dispersion-tuning approach. A constant mode spacing of 7.1 nm is maintained during the tuning process     

A tunable distributed amplification DFB laser diode (TDA-DFB-LD)

A novel wavelength-tunable distributed amplification distributed feedback laser diode (TDA-DFB-LD) is proposed and fabricated. The proposed structure provides synchronous change between the longitudinal mode and the Bragg wavelength in tuning; thereby continuous wavelength tuning can be realized with single control-current. Moreover, extended tuning is also possible with two control-currents. A continuous tuning range of 2.9 nm and an extended discrete tuning range of 15 nm are experimentally obtained with a 1.55-μm TDA-DFB-LD     

Smoothly wavelength-tunable picosecond pulse generation using a harmonically mode-locked fiber ring laser

A simple design of a stable, smoothly wavelength-tunable picosecond pulse generator has been demonstrated using a dispersion-tuned, harmonically mode-locked fiber ring laser with a directly modulated semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). The SOA functions as both a polarization-insensitive mode locker and a supermode noise suppressor. Near-linearly chirped pulses are generated and compressed to less than 4 ps when the intracavity dispersion is anomalous while 11-ps, near-transform-limited pulses are generated without compression when the dispersion is normal. Smooth wavelength tuning is achieved over more than 11 nm by only tuning the modulation frequency and pulse characteristics are stable over the entire tuning span. A simple numerical model successively simulates the operation principle of the system. The tuning range is determined by both the gain profile and the total intracavity dispersion. The dispersion and the SOA ensure the long-term stability of the system.
