Fluctuations of Single-Mode Laser Driven by Two Different Kinds of Colored Noise

A single-mode laser with coupling between additive and multiplicative noise terms is investigated when the multiplicative noise and the coupling between two noise terms are colored fluctuations with finite correlation times T1 and T2. Combining the unified colored noise approximation （UCNA） and the functional analysis, the stationary probability distribution （SPD） and the variance of the laser intensity is derived. It is found that the colored nature of multiplicative noise and the coupling strength between two noise terms can affect both the structure and the height of the SPD, while the colored nature of the coupling between two noise terms can only affect the height of the SPD. The multiplicative noise can enhance the intensity fluctuations while the additive noise can reduce the fluctuations in a laser system. Numerical simulations are presented and consistent to the analytical results.

Synchronization of Chaotic Intensities and Phases in an Array of N Lasers

A linear array of N mutually coupled single-mode lasers is investigated. It is shown that the intensities of N lasers are chaotically synchronized when the coupling between lasers is relatively strong. The chaotic synchronization of intensities depends on the location of the lasers in the array. The chaotic synchronization appears between two outmost lasers, the second two outmost lasers, etc. There is no synchronization between nearest neighbors of the lasers. If the number of N is odd, the middle laser is never synchronized between any lasers. The chaotic synchronization of phases between nearest lasers in the array is examined by using the analytic signal and the Gaussian filter methods based on the peak of the power spectrum of the intensity. It can be seen that the message of chaotic intensity synchronization is conveyed through the phase synchronization.

Experimental study of the characteristics of novel microactuator based on optothermal expansion

A novel asymmetric optothermal microactuator was developed. A microactuator of 750μm length was machined by an excimer laser micmmachining system using single layer material. It had an asymmetric structure consisting of two thin expansion arms with different widths. A laser diode （660nm） was employed as the external power source to activate the microactuator. We introduced a charge coupled device （CCD）-combined optical microscope and a computer system to observe and capture the microactuator＇ s deflection and vibration. Experiments have been carried out to check the feasibility of deflection, and the data of deflection have been measured under different laser power as well as under different pulse frequency. The results show that the actuator can practically generate an obvious lateral deflection or vibration, the maximum could be larger than 20μm. Moreover, the deflection status of the microactuator could be controlled wirelessly or remotely by changing the laser power and its pulse frequency.

Novel intra-cavity self-organization coherent erbium-doped fiber laser

A novel all-fiber self-organization coherent Erbium-doped fiber laser is proposed and demonstrated. The laser system is composed of two independent lasers. When each of the two branch lasers operates independently, the output power is 10. 41mW and 8.69 mW respectively. By adjusting a polarization controller (PC), the two lasers achieve coherent coupling, and the output power is 24.4 mW, which is more than two times that the single laser yields. Furthermore, we bring forward and discuss the factor estimating the effect of coherent combination—coherent coupling factor. The value of growth factor to evaluate the effect of coherent combining is 1.27. The coherent fiber laser has the advantages of simple structure, high efficiency and single frequency, which conduce to coherent coupling easily.

Theory of Dynamics In-Phase Locking and Quasi-Period Synchronization in Two Mutually Coupled Multi-Quantum-Well Lasers

Abstract We study dynamics in two mutually coupling multi-quantum-well lasers. We carry out theoretical and numerical analysis of synchronization, anti-synchronization, in-phase locking in the two identical lasers but detuning, in detain. It is proved that the coupling level determines stability of the lasers by analyzing the eigenvalue equation. Critical case of locking is discussed via the phase difference equation. Quasi-period and stable states in the two lasers are investigated via varying the current, detuning and coupling level.

Study of waveguide coupling efficiency in hybrid silicon lasers

This paper presents a new method to increase the waveguide coupling efficiency in hybrid silicon lasers.We find that the propagation constant of the InGaAsP emitting layer can be equal to that of the Si resonant layer through improving the design size of the InP waveguide.The coupling power achieves 42% of the total power in the hybrid lasers when the thickness of the bonding layer is 100 nm.Our result is very close to 50% of the total power reported by Intel when the thickness of the thin bonding layer is less than 5 nm.Therefore,our invariable coupling power technique is simpler than Intel's.

Design of coupling system in fiber optic sensing measurement

According to the principle of choosing the light source in the fiber optic sensing measurement,semiconductor laser is used as the light source of fiber optic sensor and single-mode fiber is used as the tail fiber of light source. Based on optical design software Zemax’s pure non-sequential components,a coupling system of semiconductor laser and single-mode fiber is designed. By analyzing the beam characteristics of the semiconductor laser and the coupled mode theory of semiconductor laser and single-mode fiber,the combined lens consists of a ball lens and a collimating lens for the purpose of improving the coupling efficiency and adjusting tolerance. The simulation results show that the coupling efficiency can reach about 78% by using one million ray traces on non-sequential components,while the experimental test result is 69.11%,accordingly,the reasons for the difference between the experiment and the simulation results are analyzed.

Raman lasing and Fano lineshapes in a packaged fiber-coupled whispering-gallery-mode microresonator

We report Raman lasing and the optical analog of electromagnetically-induced-transparency(EIT) in a whispering-gallery-mode(WGM) microtoroid resonator embedded in a low refractive index polymer matrix together with a tapered fiber coupler. The microtoroid resonator supports both single mode and multimode Raman lasing with low power thresholds. Observations of Fano and EIT-like phenomena in a packaged microresonator will enable high resolution sensors and can be used in networks where slow-light effect is needed. These results will open up new possibilities for portable, robust, and stable WGM microlasers and resonator-based sensors for applications in various environments.

Improvement of slow light performance for vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser using coupled cavity structure

We propose a vertical cavity semiconductor emitting laser(VCSEL)using a coupled-cavity(CC)design to broaden the bandwidths of gain and delay spectra.The structure is formed by constructing a passive cavity coupled with the active cavity.By rendering the strength of the two resonant cavities,the increased gain bandwidth by 340%and the increased delay bandwidth by 800%are achieved as compared with the signal-cavity(SC)VCSEL.The wideband spectra present more square-like passband which is expected for slow light system.By using it,a 20 Gbit/s super Gaussian signal is delayed by about 13 ps with high quality.
