Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ridge waveguide distributed feedback laser was developed in InGaAsP. These devices have demonstrated CW output powers over 7 mW with threshold currents as low as 60 mA at 25 C. Measurements of the frequency response of these devices show a 3 dB bandwidth of about 2 GHz, which may be limited by the mount. The best devices have a single mode spectra over the entire temperature range tested with a side mode suppression of about 20 dB in both CW and pulsed modes. The design of this device, including detailed modeling of the ridge guide structure, effective index calculations, and a discussion of the grating configuration are presented. Also, the fabrication of the devices is presented in some detail, especially the fabrication of and subsequent growth over the grating. In addition, a high frequency fiber pigtailed package was designed and tested, which is a suitable prototype for a commercial package. Ladany, I. and Andrews, J. T. and Evans, G. A.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Propriedades dinâmicas dos lasers semicondutores monomodo têm sido investigadas utilizando-se diferentes sistemas ópticos de medição. Sistemas ópticos integrados auto-homódino e heteródino foram montados para a medição da modulação em intensidade (IM) e freqüência (FM) e para a obtenção do fator de alargamento da largura de linha (alfa) de três lasers semicondutores de realimentação distribuída (DFB) de seção única. O sistema auto-homódino foi pela primeira vez empregado na obtenção do fator de alargamento da largura de linha. Este sistema mostrou-se mais estável, prático e as medidas apresentam melhor reprodutibilidade que no sistema heteródino, uma vez que é possível obter as características de IM, FM e o parâmetro alfa em uma única medida sem o uso de um outro laser semicondutor como oscilador local. O outro sistema utilizador foi o interferômetro de Mach-Zehnder com detenção balanceada montado com elementos discretos. É possível medir as características de modulação e ruídos dos dispositivos com este interferômetro empregado como discriminador de freqüência. Com este instrumento foi feita a caracterização dinâmica de lasers DFB de seção única, DBR de múltiplas seções e grating assisted codirectional coupler with rear sampled reflector (GCSR) lasers. Foi analisado e pela primeira vez quantificado o efeito de desintonização carrregada em lasers GCSR, pelas medidads de resposta da IM, ruído de freqüência e largura de linha. A realização da caracterização das propriedades dinâmicas de lasers GCSR de larga sintonia é de grande importância, uma vez que muito pouca informação está disponível sobre o assunto pois a estrutura do dispositivo foi desenvolvida recentemente. O lasers GCSR possui quatro seções, uma seção de ganho e três sintonia. Estes dispositivos possuem sintonia quase-contínua de 1520 a 1560nm. Características como ruído de intensidade relativo (RIN), ruído de freqüência, largura de linha, resposta a modulação de amplitude e de freqÜência foram investigadas sob diferentes condições de funcionamento. O comportamento da largura de linha, freeqüência de ressonância, largura de faixa de modulação e varredura em freqüência foi analisado em dez comprimentos de onda espaçados de 4nm dentro da faixa de sintonia. A resposta IM tem características quase constantes sobre a faixa de sintonia e a resposta FM é comparável ou melhor que em lasers com refletor de Bragg distribuído (DBR). O fator de alargamento da largura de linha (alfa) foi obtido de forma inédita pelo uso do interferômetro de Mach-Zehnder com detecção balanceada pela medida das respostas AM e FM, alfa tem seu valor máximo no lado dos comprimentos de onda mais longos e decresce na direção dos comprimentos de onda mais curtos. Foi observado uma melhora em algumas prorpiedades do laser como: redução do ruído de freqüência, largura de linha e aumento da largura de faixa de modulação com a sintonia da seção de fase. Isto é característico da ocorrência do efeito de desintonização carregada (detuned loading effect), o qual geralmente ocorre em lasers DBR. Este efito explica o comportamento observado da largura de linha, largura de faixa de modulação e parâmetro alfa na faixa de sintonia.

This book was released on 2013-01-25 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reference book provides a fully integrated novel approach to the development of high-power, single-transverse mode, edge-emitting diode lasers by addressing the complementary topics of device engineering, reliability engineering and device diagnostics in the same book, and thus closes the gap in the current book literature. Diode laser fundamentals are discussed, followed by an elaborate discussion of problem-oriented design guidelines and techniques, and by a systematic treatment of the origins of laser degradation and a thorough exploration of the engineering means to enhance the optical strength of the laser. Stability criteria of critical laser characteristics and key laser robustness factors are discussed along with clear design considerations in the context of reliability engineering approaches and models, and typical programs for reliability tests and laser product qualifications. Novel, advanced diagnostic methods are reviewed to discuss, for the first time in detail in book literature, performance- and reliability-impacting factors such as temperature, stress and material instabilities. Further key features include: practical design guidelines that consider also reliability related effects, key laser robustness factors, basic laser fabrication and packaging issues; detailed discussion of diagnostic investigations of diode lasers, the fundamentals of the applied approaches and techniques, many of them pioneered by the author to be fit-for-purpose and novel in the application; systematic insight into laser degradation modes such as catastrophic optical damage, and a wide range of technologies to increase the optical strength of diode lasers; coverage of basic concepts and techniques of laser reliability engineering with details on a standard commercial high power laser reliability test program. Semiconductor Laser Engineering, Reliability and Diagnostics reflects the extensive expertise of the author in the diode laser field both as a top scientific researcher as well as a key developer of high-power highly reliable devices. With invaluable practical advice, this new reference book is suited to practising researchers in diode laser technologies, and to postgraduate engineering students.

Download or read book Self focusing Past and Present written by Robert W. Boyd and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-16 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-focusing has been an area of active scientific investigation for nearly 50 years. This book presents a comprehensive treatment of this topic and reviews both theoretical and experimental investigations of self-focusing. This book should be of interest to scientists and engineers working with lasers and their applications. From a practical point of view, self-focusing effects impose a limit on the power that can be transmitted through a material medium. Self-focusing also can reduce the threshold for the occurrence of other nonlinear optical processes. Self-focusing often leads to damage in optical materials and is a limiting factor in the design of high-power laser systems. But it can be harnessed for the design of useful devices such as optical power limiters and switches. At a formal level, the equations for self-focusing are equivalent to those describing Bose-Einstein condensates and certain aspects of plasma physics and hydrodynamics. There is thus a unifying theme between nonlinear optics and these other disciplines. One of the goals of this book is to connect the extensive early literature on self-focusing, filament-ation, self-trapping, and collapse with more recent studies aimed at issues such as self-focusing of fs pulses, white light generation, and the generation of filaments in air with lengths of more than 10 km. It also describes some modern advances in self-focusing theory including the influence of beam nonparaxiality on self-focusing collapse. This book consists of 24 chapters. Among them are three reprinted key landmark articles published earlier. It also contains the first publication of the 1964 paper that describes the first laboratory observation of self-focusing phenomena with photographic evidence.

Download or read book Laser Diode Modulation and Noise written by Klaus Petermann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laser diodes represent a key element in the emerging field of opto electronics which includes, for example, optical communication, optical sensors or optical disc systems. For all these applications, information is either transmitted, stored or read out. The performance of these systems depends to a great deal on the performance of the laser diode with regard to its modulation and noise characteristics. Since the modulation and noise characteristics of laser diodes are of vital importance for optoelectronic systems, the need for a book arises that concentrates on this subject. This book thus closes the gap between books on the device physics of semiconductor lasers and books on system design. Complementary to the specific topics concerning modulation and noise, the first part of this book reviews the basic laser characteristics, so that even a reader without detailed knowledge of laser diodes may follow the text. In order to understand the book, the reader should have a basic knowledge of electronics, semiconductor physics and optical communica tions. The work is primarily written for the engineer or scientist working in the field of optoelectronics; however, since the book is self-contained and since it contains a lot of numerical examples, it may serve as a textbook for graduate students. In the field of laser diode modulation and noise a vast amount has been published during recent years. Even though the book contains more than 600 references, only a small part of the existing literature is included.
