Description

Distributed feed-back formula optical waveguide laser
Technical field
The invention belongs to the photoelectron technology field, relevant with distributed feed-back formula optical waveguide laser, relate in particular to the design and fabrication of the DFB fiber laser of single longitudinal mode, single polarization.
Technical background
The kind of laser is a lot, but its manufacturing principle is basic identical, is made up of excitation system, laser material and optical resonator three parts mostly.Because the development of semiconductor laser technology and optical communication, the semiconductor pumped optical waveguide laser of mixing gain substance is because its good performance development in recent years is rapid.Optical waveguide laser mainly contains fiber laser and plane optical waveguide laser.(Distributed Feedback, DFB) optical waveguide laser is wherein very important a kind of to the distributed feed-back formula.The DFB optical waveguide laser has many good characteristics: narrow linewidth, high-output power accurately obtain necessary wavelength etc. easily.Special because progress, the ultraviolet light of optic fibre manufacture process write the increasingly mature of technology such as Fiber Bragg Grating FBG, the DFB fiber laser makes it have a wide range of applications in fields such as optical communication, sensing, spectroscopy owing to the characteristic of its stable single mode operation, super narrow live width, very long coherence length, short length, stable structure.
The grating of DFB optical waveguide laser is distributed in the whole resonant cavity, promptly write the phase shift Bragg grating on the active optical waveguide of gain substance containing, as long as a grating can be realized light feedback and wavelength selection, thereby makes it that better frequency stability be arranged, can realize stable single mode output.The structure of DFB optical waveguide laser is as shown in Figure 1: the 1-1 pump light source is generally semiconductor laser, the pump light that it produces is by 1-2 WDM (also being called coupler), enter into the active optical waveguide of 1-3 with phase-shifted grating, the signal laser of Chan Shenging just can be exported at 1-4 by WDM like this.The resonant cavity of high performance DFB optical waveguide laser is exactly the Bragg grating that writes band π phase shift in the middle of active optical waveguide.The reflectance spectrum of phase shift Bragg grating is seen accompanying drawing 2.The central wavelength of this structure can be proved by electromagnetic coupled mode theory, the sharp condition of penetrating of laser can be satisfied at grating.Present DFB optical waveguide laser comparative maturity aspect theoretical, but aspect making, because the making of phase-shifted grating more complicated comparatively speaking, and rate of finished products neither be very high, this just makes the suitable difficulty of making of high-quality DFB optical waveguide laser.
For the DFB optical waveguide laser, the quality of the gain of fiber waveguide and Bragg grating phase shift is very crucial, these two parameters have directly influenced the quality of DFB optical waveguide laser, and especially the quality of phase shift Bragg grating has determined the quality of DFB optical waveguide laser.The phase-shifting technique of realizing in optical waveguide laser at present has direct introducing phase shift [W.H.Loh and R.I.Laming, " 1.55um phase-shift distributed feedback fibre laser ", Electron.Lett., 1995,31 (17), pp.1440-1442], also have by after exposure and realize [J.Canning and M.G.Sceats in the intermediate regulations mean refractive index of grating, " π-phase-shifted periodic distributed structures in optical fibres by UV post-processing ", Electron.Lett., 1994,30 (16), pp.1344-1345].These phase-shifting techniques need very high control precision and manufacture craft, could realize high performance DFB optical waveguide laser.
On the other hand, people such as Feng Jia, Chen Xiangfei in 2002 Chinese invention patent " the Bragg grating that is used for compensation of dispersion and polarization mode disperse " with new sampling structure (application number: 02103383.8, publication number: proposed 1434583) by the sampling period of introducing the sampling Bragg grating the warble method of (CGP) of grating cycle that (CSP) obtain needed equivalence of warbling.The characteristics of this equivalent chirp technology are to use common even phase mask or linear chrip template and just can make the Bragg grating with needed equivalent chirp based on sub-micrometer precision, therefore can simplify the making of special Bragg grating greatly, have very big cost advantage and technical characteristic, can design grating easily with this, and not change template with different delay curve.Simultaneously, this technology can realize the equivalent chirped grating of various complexity on the submicron order precision that is easy to realize, and this equivalent chirped grating is the same with the complicated chirped grating role that has inferior nano-precision really.Equivalent chirp technology guarantees can separately to obtain as single order equivalent chirp, second order equivalence chirped grating, high-order equivalence chirped grating etc. fully.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of distributed feed-back formula optical waveguide laser based on the high equivalent phase shift sampling Bragg grating of the rate of finished products of using common even phase mask or linear chrip template and sub-micrometer precision to make.
The present invention proposes the notion of equivalent phase shift sampling Bragg grating, its concrete structure is: the sampling period of a certain position takes place to change suddenly in the sampling Bragg grating, and other sampling period remains unchanged, just can make the sampling Bragg grating some reflection peak reach the effect similar to phase-shifted grating.This and Bragg grating phase shift corresponding characteristic is called equivalent phase shift.Widely, if the sampling period of a plurality of positions of sampling Bragg grating takes place to change suddenly, some reflection peak of this sampling Bragg grating will produce the equivalent phase shift similar to the uniform grating that has these a plurality of phase shift point so.If particularly a sampling period at sampling Bragg grating center is changed into 1.5 times or 0.5 times of raw footage of its raw footage, and other sampling period remains unchanged, and just can make the odd level reflection peak of sampled-grating that equivalent π-phase shift takes place.Similar with equivalent chirp, this technology can realize the equivalent phase shift of various complexity on the submicron order precision that is easy to realize, and this equivalent grating phase shift is the same with the true phase shift role with nanometer, inferior nano-precision.In addition, the present invention also utilizes this special equivalent phase shift grating to produce the DFB fiber laser, its structure is seen accompanying drawing 3, the effect of each several part structure is consistent with Fig. 1, be that the pump light that the 3-1 pump light source produces passes through 3-2 WDM, enter into the active optical waveguide of 3-3 with the equivalent phase shift sampled-grating, the signal laser of Chan Shenging just can be exported at 3-4 by WDM like this.The equivalent phase shift sampling optical-fiber grating can avoid making the complicated technology of phase-shifted grating, make manufacture craft that extraordinary repeatability, stability be arranged, can obtain very high rate of finished products, thereby make cost of manufacture reduce greatly, the laser performance that uses it to produce is good, stable, and very big practical potentiality are arranged.
The sampling Bragg grating has a plurality of reflection peaks, and each reflection peak can be used as a channel light filter and uses in optical communication and other optoelectronic areas.According to Fourier analysis, the corresponding corresponding fourier series m of each reflection peak of sampling Bragg grating.The cycle of sampling Bragg grating is P, as shown in Figure 4, be designated as 4-1, if the sampling period of a certain position takes place to change suddenly in the sampling Bragg grating, become P+ Δ P, be designated as 4-2, the cycle of Δ P for increasing, in the channel of so corresponding m reflection peak, in this position the effect similar to phase shift takes place, its phase shift is
θ = 2 mπ ΔP P - - - ( 1 )
θ is the equivalent phase shift size in the m channel.Change into especially 1.5 times or 0.5 times of primitive period of its primitive period, promptly during Δ P=± 0.5P, equivalent grating phase shift takes place at the center of this grating when a sampling period of sampling Bragg grating center, big or small θ=± m π.This equivalent grating phase shift is the same with true phase shift role in the m channel, make the center of the odd level reflection peak 6-1 of corresponding odd number m produce the slit 6-2 similar to phase-shifted grating on reflectance spectrum, promptly this grating has the character similar to common phase-shifted grating in the certain wavelengths scope.The sampling period of sampled-grating generally all is the length of submillimeter magnitude, therefore when making, can guarantee very high precision, avoid making the complicated technology of phase-shifted grating, make manufacture craft that extraordinary repeatability, stability be arranged, can obtain very high rate of finished products, thereby make cost of manufacture reduce greatly.On the active optical waveguide of erbium-doped optical waveguide or various doped with rare-earth elements, write the sampled-grating of equivalent phase shift, fiber waveguide can be optical fiber or planar optical waveguide, the phase-shifted grating (also writing on the active optical waveguide) that uses this Bragg grating to substitute in the common DFB optical waveguide laser then just can be produced a kind of novel DFB optical waveguide laser, structure such as accompanying drawing 3.This DFB optical waveguide laser based on the equivalent phase shift sampled-grating, because the manufacturing process of grating is fairly simple, reliable, the laser performance that uses it to produce is good, stable, and very big practical potentiality are arranged.
Sampled-grating shown in the accompanying drawing 4, if get Δ P=± 0.5P, the reflectance spectrum of the equivalent phase shift sampling optical-fiber grating that obtains so is shown in accompanying drawing 5 (a), 5 (b).Its-1 (5-1) ,+reflectance spectrum of 1 odd level secondary peaks such as (5-2), have a very dark slit 5-3 at the center of reflection bandwidth, closely similar with the reflectance spectrum (accompanying drawing 2) of common phase-shifted grating, promptly the characteristic of flashlight in these zones of reflections is consistent with characteristic at true phase-shifted grating.This just characteristic consistent in correlation bandwidth has determined the sampled-grating of equivalent phase shift can make the DFB optical waveguide laser of equivalence.Fig. 5 (b) is the figure that-1 reflection peak amplifies among Fig. 5 (a), its reflection characteristic and the reflection characteristic basically identical that is caused by true phase shift shown in Figure 2.
For a certain reflection peak, if there is the phase shift that is approximately equal to π in heart position annex therein, effective loss gain enough little or fiber waveguide of this reflection peak is enough big simultaneously, total actual gain is greater than 0 in the channel of corresponding this reflection peak to make fiber waveguide, and so corresponding this channel can produce laser.Therefore for as shown in Figure 3 structure, can there be the laser of a plurality of wavelength to swash simultaneously in theory and penetrates.A little less than considering that sampling optical-fiber grating high order reflection peak relatively ,-1 of grating grade and place ,+1 grade of peak just might swash simultaneously to penetrate and send laser like this.Because grating shows tangible cladding mode loss (being also referred to as the shortwave loss) on the shortwave direction, therefore the reflection peak of the actual equivalent phase shift that uses is-1 grade of peak, makes optical fiber only send-restraint single longitudinal mode laser but under normal conditions.And the gain of normal light waveguide is not very big, like this because there is mode competition in laser, under actual conditions, only can produce the laser of single longitudinal mode usually-1 grade of spike strong point.For the DFB optical waveguide laser, the reflectivity of resonance wavelength both sides wavelength is strong more good more, therefore preferably adopts the template of warbling in specific design, making equivalent phase shift sampled-grating.This is because if adopted the template of warbling, in order to compensate-1 grade of reflection peak because template is warbled the warbling of grating cycle of introducing, just the grating cycle that must bring template by the sampling period that changes grating warbles and compensates, and this will make-1 grade of reflection peak of grating the strongest simultaneously, and other main reflection peaks are weakened greatly, thereby help the making of the high-quality DFB optical waveguide laser of non-mode competition.
Adopt the linear chrip template to carry out the design of equivalent phase shift sampled-grating, the chirp coefficient of establishing the linear chrip template is c, therefore requires the change sampling period to compensate warbling of template introducing, and its computing formula is as follows:
z n + a z n 2 = nZ 0 ( a = c Z 0 / 4 Λ - 1 2 )
The ordinal number of the n representative sampling in the formula, Z 0The expression reference length, its general and sampling period order of magnitude, z nThe position of representing each sampling period, the length Z of each sampling period n=z n-z N-1, Λ 1The initial value of representing one 1 grades of reflection peak place grating cycles.Like this along with the change of n just can be in the hope of the sampling period length Z of a series of grating n, adopt this a series of Z nMake sampled-grating and just can compensate warbling of template introducing.If at this a series of Z nChange into original 1.5 times for a certain of mid portion, promptly be equivalent to half sampling period of sampling period translation in the middle of the grating, so just can introduce phase shift in the odd level reflection, its reflectance spectrum is shown in accompanying drawing 6 (a), 6 (b).The grating that designs so just has the characteristic the same with common phase-shifted grating in the wave-length coverage of its-1 grade of reflection peak.
On the fiber waveguide that gain is arranged of erbium-doped optical waveguide or various doped with rare-earth elements, write the equivalent phase shift sampled-grating, use the phase shift Bragg grating (also writing on the active optical waveguide) in the alternative common DFB optical waveguide laser of this grating then, its concrete structure is so just produced a kind of novel DFB optical waveguide laser as shown in Figure 3.This based on equivalent phase shift sampled-grating DFB optical waveguide laser, because the manufacturing process of Bragg grating is fairly simple, reliable, the laser performance that uses it to produce is good, stable, and very big practical potentiality are arranged.
Here need to prove that usually the fiber waveguide based on the DFB optical waveguide laser of Fig. 1 structure is the doped with rare-earth elements monomode fiber, claim also that therefore active optical waveguide is that this type of laser of optical fiber is the DFB fiber laser.On the other hand, active optical waveguide also can be a planar optical waveguide, and active optical waveguide is that the Distributed Feedback Laser of planar optical waveguide is called DFB planar optical waveguide laser.At present, Distributed Feedback Laser as Fig. 1 structure mostly is the DFB fiber laser greatly, DFB planar optical waveguide laser development in recent years also relatively rapidly, similar [the J.Albert etc. " Polarisation-independent strong Bragg gratings in planar lightwave circuits " of the technology that on the technology of writing Bragg grating on the planar optical waveguide coexists optical fiber, writes, Electronics Letters, 1998,34 (5), pp.485-486].Following example is a gain fibre with used active optical waveguide, but the corresponding techniques feature is applicable to the gain planar optical waveguide fully.
