The radiation-induced attenuation (RIA) self-compensating effect in SFS based on photo-bleaching was found and the general mathematic model of SFS output spectra variations was made. The radiation-induced background attenuation (RIBA) at the pump wavelength was identified to be the main cause of the total output power and spectra variations and the variations can then be compensated by active control of the pump power to enhance the self-compensating effect. With closed-loop feedback control of pump current, double-pass backward (DPB) configuration and spectrum re-shaping technology, an SFS prototype was made and tested. The mean-wavelength stability of about 87.4 ppm and output power instability of less than 5% were achieved under up to 200 krad (Si) gamma-ray irradiation.展开更多

Using a new semi- analytical method, we introduce effective refractive index perturbations in the form of etched slot features into a conventional 980 nm broad area Fabry-Perot cavity, and the spectral characteristics of the device are expected to be noticeably improved. A low density of slot features is formed by using standard optical lithography and inductively coupled plasma dry etching. The experimental results show that the full spectral width at half-maximum is less than 0.4 rim, meanwhile, the thermal shift of the emission spectrum is decreased from 0.26 to 0.07 nm/℃ over a temperature range of 10 to 60℃. The improved spectral characteristics of the device are proved to be attributed to such slotted Fabry-Perot laser structures.展开更多
