Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a semiconductor laser oscillator that emits a laser.
- DDL direct diode laser
- a DDL oscillator composed of a single-emitter laser diode
- the DDL oscillator In the DDL oscillator, high output and high brightness are achieved by combining spectral beams. In order to realize spectral beam combining of lasers having a plurality of wavelengths, it is necessary to narrow the spectrum of each wavelength. Therefore, the DDL oscillator locks the laser to a plurality of desired wavelengths by an external resonator.
- the higher the wavelength lock efficiency the more efficiently the spectral beam can be coupled, and a highly efficient laser output can be obtained.
- laser diodes manufactured from a plurality of types of materials are distributed to each lock wavelength so that the wavelength lock efficiency becomes high at least at high output.
- the laser diode has a characteristic that the wavelength of the emitted laser shifts to the longer wavelength side by about 0.25 to 0.3 nm with a temperature rise of 1 ° C. Therefore, if the output of the laser diode is increased, the amount of heat generated increases and the temperature rises, so that the wavelength of the emitted laser shifts to the longer wavelength side. Therefore, a material whose wavelength is adjusted according to the time of high output may be difficult to maintain the high wavelength lock efficiency because the wavelength shifts to a low wavelength at the time of low output even though the wavelength lock efficiency is high.
- the laser output with respect to the input current of a normal laser diode that is not wavelength locked is a straight line.
- the higher the current is supplied to the laser diode the larger the temperature difference from the low output and the larger the wavelength shift amount.
- the efficiency at the low output tends to decrease.
- the relationship between the input current to the laser diode of each bank in the DDL oscillator and the laser output is not a straight line, and the characteristic is a downward convex curve at low output.
- the laser with low wavelength lock efficiency and oscillating at a wavelength other than the lock wavelength increases the loss of the laser to be emitted off the original optical axis. Then, the loss generates heat in the semiconductor laser oscillator and local heat in the transmission fiber incident portion. Therefore, the performance of the semiconductor laser oscillator cannot be maximized.
- An object of the embodiment is to provide a semiconductor laser oscillator that can maintain a highly efficient wavelength lock even at a low output in a semiconductor laser oscillator that is wavelength-locked and spectrally beam-coupled.
- a plurality of laser diodes connected in series constitute one bank, and a plurality of banks are connected in parallel to each other, and each of the plurality of banks includes a diode unit.
- a semiconductor laser oscillator further comprising a control unit that individually controls input current in accordance with wavelength lock efficiency characteristics to control the output of the entire diode unit to a required output.
- a highly efficient wavelength lock can be maintained even when the output is low in the semiconductor laser oscillator in which the wavelength is locked and the spectrum beam is coupled.

- the laser beams emitted from the collimator lens U12 are incident on the grating U13 at different angles, bent in directions, and emitted through the partial reflection mirror U14.
