Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that the described embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, and not restrictive of the full scope of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
In an optical access network, a wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) can achieve further improvement of access bandwidth and flexibility by using different wavelengths as carriers for information transmission simultaneously by combining advantages of a wavelength division multiplexing technology, and thus in a backhaul network of the WDM-PON, a large number of lasers with various wavelengths are required to emit signal light sources with different wavelengths. In WDM systems, a variety of single lasers of different lasing wavelengths have been used to meet the system requirements for multiple wavelength light sources, but this approach tends to result in greater power consumption, complex configuration and management costs, and less flexibility. Especially for the coming 5G era and the next-generation passive optical network (NGPON2) in use, WDM technology is widely adopted, and at the same time, high demands are made on the flexibility of the network. Therefore, it is desirable for the network application to be able to use a large number of lower cost wavelength switchable lasers to replace a wide variety of different wavelength lasers, i.e. one laser can play the role of multiple lasers, thereby greatly increasing the management cost and network flexibility. In addition, in the optical switching network, in order to meet the future requirements of higher speed and more flexibility, the switching principle is shifting from electrical switching to wavelength switching, and in the wavelength switching system, a laser with a fast wavelength switching capability is an essential device.
A sampled grating distributed feedback mirror (SGDBR) Laser source was developed in l.a. colliden, "monolithic tunable Laser with sampled gratings," IEEE j.quantum electron.29, pp.1824-1834(1993), at santa basba division, california university, and contains two front and back reflective sampled gratings, a phase modulation region and an active gain region. The reflection spectrum of the sampling grating is comb-shaped, the free paths of the frequency spectrums of the front grating and the rear grating are slightly different, and the mode selection can be realized by utilizing the vernier effect of the front grating and the rear grating; by adjusting the current of the sampling grating area, the laser light source can obtain a tuning range of more than 40 nm. Professor k.tsuzuki Of NTT laboratories In japan filed [ k.tsuzuki, "Full C-Band Tunable DFB Laser Array coding With InP Mach-zehnder modulator for DWDM Optical Communication System", IEEE Journal Of selective tuning In Quantum electronics.15, pp.521-527(2009) ] developed Tunable distributed amplification distributed feedback (TDA-DFB) Laser sources that alternate active gain regions With passive tuning regions, and after asymmetric TDA-DFB was used, the single-electrode continuous tuning range reached 8nm, and the total tuning range exceeded 45nm, but the cost Of the continuously Tunable Laser was too high to be beneficial for mass network applications. The wavelength switchable laser based on the multi-wavelength array is developed by NTT company of Japan in the document [ Ishii. "Spectral line width reduction in width and wavelength tunable DFB laser array." IEEE Journal of Selected calibration in Quantum Electronics 15, No.3(2009):514 and 520 ], but the wave combining structure based on the multi-wavelength array brings larger power loss, and theoretically, the loss is larger when the number of wavelengths is larger.
The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a semiconductor laser device, and an embodiment of the present invention provides a wavelength switchable semiconductor laser device based on a large chirp grating, including an active layer 4 and a buffer layer 5, and further including: p electrode 1, electric isolation 2, large chirp grating 3, N electrode 6.

Preferably, the length of the P electrodes is less than L/n, where L is the cavity length of the device and n is the number of the P electrodes.
Preferably, the large chirped grating and the intermediate insertion phase shift of the large chirped grating are manufactured by adopting an electron beam exposure method, namely, an electron beam firstly passes through a scattering mask plate, then is subjected to direction control by a deflection focusing electromagnetic lens, and then forms a desired pattern on an electron beam glue on a substrate.
Preferably, the large chirped grating and the intermediate insertion phase shift of the large chirped grating are manufactured by a step-by-step lithography technology.
Preferably, the large chirped grating and the intermediate insertion phase shift of the large chirped grating are manufactured by a reconstruction-equivalent chirp technology.
In the active layer, an upper confinement layer, a lower confinement layer, and a quantum well layer are included.
It should be noted that the large-chirp grating forms a multi-longitudinal-mode resonant cavity in the laser, and the designated longitudinal-mode lasing, i.e., the designated wavelength lasing, can be realized by changing the gain distribution in the laser cavity, and is particularly suitable for use when the interval between the wavelengths to be switched is small, for example, the typical value of the wavelength grid interval of C-band dense wavelength division multiplexing is 0.8 nm.
It should be further noted that the period variation of the large chirped grating needs to be precisely controlled, so as to implement a stable multi-longitudinal-mode resonant cavity with precise wavelength interval, and therefore, the large chirped grating manufactured by using the reconstruction-equivalent chirping technology has a better effect.
It should be further understood that the number of the P electrodes in the embodiment of the present invention is 6, and other numbers may also be used, which are not particularly limited herein.
The semiconductor laser device provided by the embodiment of the invention has a multi-wavelength switching function, can realize very high switching speed by changing the current injected into different electrodes, theoretically depends only on the switching speed of the laser, namely in the order of several nanoseconds, and has the advantage of high switching speed compared with the conventional laser for switching the wavelength by temperature tuning; since the laser has only one waveguide, a wave combination structure is not needed, so that the laser has larger output power compared with a conventional multi-wavelength array wave combination structure, and the chip size can be saved.

When a current injection scheme is changed, the lasing current of the ith P electrode is switched into a transparent current, and the transparent current of the jth (j ≠ i) P electrode is switched into a lasing current, so that the switching from the ith-1 wavelength to the jth-1 wavelength can be realized, the transparent current is slightly smaller than the threshold current, and the lasing current is larger than the threshold current.

When changing the current injection scheme, for example, switching the lasing current of the i-th and i + 1-th electrodes to a transparent current, and switching the transparent current of the j (j ≠ i) and j + 1-th electrodes to a lasing current, the lasing current being larger than the threshold current, can be achieved from the i-th wavelength to the j-th wavelength.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of the P electrodes is 6, and may be other numbers, which is not particularly limited herein.
