Mutual pulse injection seeding by the use of two fabry-Perot laser diodes to produce wavelength-tunable optical short pulses

A mutual pulse injection-seeding scheme is developed to produce wavelength-tunable optical short pulses by the use of two Fabry-Perot laser diodes, of which one is gain-switched and the other is dc biased. Wavelength tuning of the optical pulses is achieved by simply adjusting a tunable optical filter while maintaining a constant repetition frequency of 3.0 GHz. The sidemode suppression ratio obtained is more than 30 dB over the wavelength-tuning range of 19 nm. The system is simple and robust.

Optimized operation of self-seeded gain-switched laser diode forelectrically wavelength-tunable singlemode pulses

A gain-switched Fabry-Perot laser diode at 1.3 μm was self-seeded at different electrical bias and optical feedback rates. With a strong feedback, a comparatively large tuning range and a high sidemode suppression ratio were obtained but multimode emission might occur around the center of the range. Similar phenomenon was observed at a weaker feedback when the electrical bias was sufficiently large. The degradation in tunability was attributed to a broadening of the optical pulses, resulting in temporal overlapping of different longitudinal modes. Our optimized feedback of 2.5% and 3.1 mA bias provided a tuning range of 23.5 nm with a sidemode suppression ratio >10 dB

Simultaneous generation of 1-GHz dual-wavelength short pulses with a wavelength separation of 1.6 or 18 nm was demonstrated. A sidemode suppression ratio (SMSR) better than 30 or 25 dB was achieved at both wavelengths in the former and latter cases respectively. Three-wavelength 1-GHz ps pulses with a SMSR better than 25 dB at all three wavelengths were also successfully generated
