The main aim of the thesis is a frequency stabilization of the DFB semiconductor laser diodes. The temperature stability of the laser diode chip, the stability and the noise of the injection current and the backward reflections are the crucial parameters which affects the frequency stability. These influences are described and the resolution is proposed. The theory of the external methods of the frequency stabilization and the comparison of these methods is presented. One method was choosed and this method was realized for 760 and 1540 nm wavelength laser diodes. In this method was used the frequency stabilization based on the linear absorption to the spectral lines of the gases. The diploma work is closed by the measured results of the frequency stability of the used laser diodes and by the comparison of level of stability achieved by the other methods.

Alguns trabalhos são baseados na teoria geométrica de defeitos em semicondutores e desenvolvidos por Katanaev Volovich. Nesta abordagem, o semicondutor com um deslocamento parafuso é descrito por uma variedade de Riemann-Cartan onde o deslocamento parafuso está associado ao vetor Burgers. Neste limite do contínuo, um deslocamento parafuso afeta um sistema quântico como um tubo de fluxo magnético isolado, causando fenômenos de interferência tipo Aharonov-Bohm (AB). O espectro de energia de elétrons em torno deste tipo de defeito mostra uma configuração semelhante a do sistema AB. Neste trabalho, investigamos a influência de um deslocamento parafuso sobre os níveis de energia e as funções de onda de um elétron confinado em um potencial pseudo-harmônico bidimensional (2D) sob a influência de um campo magnético externo para o ponto quântico e campo Aharonov-Bohm para um pseudo-ponto quântico. As soluções exatas para autovalores de energia e funções de onda são computadas em função do campo magnético uniforme, fluxo Aharonov-Bohm, número quântico magnético e do parâmetro que caracteriza o deslocamento parafuso, o vetor Burgers. Foram investigadas as modificações devido à deslocação parafuso no coeficiente de absorção de luz e na frequência de absorção limiar. Descobrimos que conforme o vetor Burgers aumenta, as curvas de frequência são impusionadas para cima em direção ao crescimento do mesmo. Um aspecto interessante que observamos é que o fluxo Aharonov-Bohm pode ser ajustado de forma a cancelar o efeito do deslocamento parafuso. / The influence of screw dislocations in quantum systems has received considerable attention in recent years. Some works are based on the geometric theory of defects in semiconductors and developed by Katanaev Volovich. In this approach the semiconductor with a screw dislocation is described by a variety of Riemann-Cartan where the screw dislocation is associated with the Burgers vector. This limit of the continuum, a screw displacement affects a quantum system as an isolated magnetic flux tube, causing phenomena of interference type Aharonov-Bohm (AB). The electron energy spectrum around this type of defect shows a configuration similar to the AB system. In this work, we investigated the influence of a screw dislocation on the energy levels and the wavefunctions of an electron confined in a two-dimensional pseudoharmonic quantum dot under the influence of an external magnetic field inside a dot and Aharonov-Bohm field inside a pseudodot. The exact solutions for energy eigenvalues and wavefunctions are computed as functions of applied uniform magnetic field strength, Aharonov-Bohm flux, magnetic quantum number and the parameter characterizing the screw dislocation, the Burgers vector. We investigate the modifications due to the screw dislocation on the light interband absorption coefficient and absorption threshold frequency. We found that as the Burgers vector increases, the curves of frequency are pushed up towards of the growth of it. One interesting aspect which we have observed is that the Aharonov-Bohm flux can be tuned in order to cancel the screw effect of the model.
