Abstract: 本篇論文中,我們報導了一個多用途的半導體雷射系統,此雷射系統 具
有波長可調,色散補償,及改善空間模的功能。我們選擇一個商用 的半
導體雷射陣列( )作為增益介質,利用外加共振腔, 以主動
鎖模的機制產生短脈衝輸出,其外腔包括一個繞射光柵,一個 透鏡,及
一個可選擇波長回授的條型全反射鏡。此外腔同時具有提供 正及負的群
速色散補償之功能,可對光脈衝做壓縮。 在連續波
操作下,當I=1.4Ith時,可得到21.6nm之單模波長可 調範圍,且在此
範圍內其旁模抑制比(SMSR)均大於20dB。主動鎖 模操作下(重覆
率=478.6MHz),利用調整色散補償,我們可將光脈衝 由33.6ps壓縮
至20.8ps的最佳狀況。在最佳脈衝輸出時(波長 =820.8nm),脈衝
之平均與尖峰輸出功率分別為9.9mW及1W,其頻寬 為0.086nm,脈衝之
時間對頻寬的乘積約為轉換極限的2.52倍。在 最佳工作點的狀況下,
左右平移條型鏡,輸出波長可由816.8nm調整 到827.8nm,約11nm的距離
,且整個調整範圍內的SMSR均大於20dB。 我們將此雷射系統產生的短脈
衝應用在光電式鎖相迴路的量測 上,順利地鎖定FRO的頻率至雷射
光脈衝的第35次諧頻,既 16.71GHz,我們亦對光導諧波混頻器
的conversion loss做了量測。 另外,量得此主動鎖模半導體雷射系統
在最佳操作點下之timing jitter為248.234fs。
In this thesis , we describe a versatile laser diode system
which provides functions of wavelength selection ,
dispersion compensation and spatial mode selection . We
use a commercial laser diode array (l = 0.8um) as gain
medium . We use Active mode-locking as the method for provide
output pulse in external cavity . The external cavity is
combination of grating , lens , and a stripe mirror . It
also provide positive and negative dispersion compensation ,
and it can shorten output pulse . In
continuous wave (cw) operation , the tuning range of the laser
is alout 21.6nm with a side-mode suppression ratio better
than 20dB . In pulse operation , by varying the group
velocity dispersion inside the cavity , the pulses are intry-
cavity compressed from 33.64ps to 20.79ps .In optimal
condition , the average and peak power of the pulse are 9.9mW
and 1W , the linewidth is 0.086nm , time-bandwidth
product are 2.52 times of the transform limited . The
laser wavelength can be tuning from 816.8nm to 827.8nm
with a side-mode suppression ratio better than 20dB .
we utilize the laser diode system in the area of OEPLL , and
lock the frequency to 16.71GHz . We also measure the
conversion loss of the photoconductor in this
chapter . We measure the timing jitter of the laser diode
system by a spectrum analyzer , and get 248.234fs.
