On-Chip Optical Stabilization of High-Speed Mode-locked Quantum Dot Lasers for Next Generation Optical Networks

Ardey, Abhijeet 01 January 2014 (has links)
Monolithic passively mode-locked colliding pulse semiconductor lasers generating pico- to sub-picosecond terahertz optical pulse trains are promising sources for future applications in ultra-high speed data transmission systems and optical measurements. However, in the absence of external synchronization, these passively mode-locked lasers suffer from large amplitude and timing jitter instabilities resulting in broad comb linewidths, which precludes many applications in the field of coherent communications and signal processing where a much narrower frequency line set is needed. In this dissertation, a novel quantum dot based coupled cavity laser is presented, where for the first time, four-wave mixing (FWM) in the monolithically integrated saturable absorber is used to injection lock a monolithic colliding pulse mode-locked (CPM) laser with a mode-locked high-Q ring laser. Starting with a passively mode-locked master ring laser, a stable 30 GHz optical pulse train is generated with more than 10 dB reduction in the RF noise level at 20 MHz offset and close to 3-times reduction in the average optical linewidth of the injection locked CPM slave laser. The FWM process is subsequently verified experimentally and conclusively shown to be the primary mechanism responsible for the observed injection locking. Other linear scattering effects are found to be negligible, as predicted in the orthogonal waveguide configuration. The novel injection locking technique is further exploited by employing optical hybrid mode-locking and increasing the Q of the master ring cavity, to realize an improved stabilization architecture. Dramatic reduction is shown with more than 14-times reduction in the photodetected beat linewidth and almost 5-times reduction in the optical linewidth of the injection locked slave laser with generation of close to transform limited pulses at ~ 30 GHz. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the novel injection locking technique for an all-on-chip stability transfer and provides a new way of stabilizing monolithic optical pulse sources for applications in future high speed optical networks.

Étude et réalisation d'un oscillateur à base de VCSEL verrouillé en phase pour des applications en télécommunications / Design and implementation of a optical injection-locked VCSEL based optoelectronic oscillator for telecommunications applications

Coronel-Rico, Juan Fernando 20 June 2016 (has links)
Les oscillateurs sont présents dans tous les systèmes de communications que nous utilisons. Ils nous permettent de faire la synchronisation entre l’émetteur et le récepteur d’un message. La qualité de cette synchronisation dépend de la stabilité de l’oscillateur. Afin de caractériser cette stabilité dans le domaine fréquentiel, le bruit de phase est utilisé comme paramètre de référence. Un oscillateur qui délivre un signal avec une faible valeur de bruit de phase est un oscillateur de grande pureté spectrale. Les oscillateurs électroniques ont une bonne performance à basse fréquence. En mesure de la demande des systèmes de très haut débit, les oscillateurs électroniques ne sont pas capables de produire signaux qu’avec l’utilisation de multiplicateurs de fréquence qui ajoutent plusieurs éléments à la chaine de communication. Les systèmes hybrides permettent de prendre d’avantage la bonne performance de composants optiques en haute fréquence afin de les intégrer dans les systèmes électroniques et surmonter de cette façon-là les limitations fréquentielles des systèmes électroniques. Ce travail vise l’utilisation de la technique de verrouillage optique par injection du faisceau d’un laser maître vers la cavité d’un VCSEL sous modulation directe dans la boucle d’oscillation. La technique du verrouillage optique du VCSEL permets d’élargir la bande passante de modulation directe du VCSEL et réduire son bruit d’intensité (Relative Intensity Noise - RIN). La réduction du RIN a comme effet secondaire la réduction de la contribution du bruit additif dans l’oscillateur et, en conséquence, la réduction du bruit de phase de l’oscillateur. / Oscillators are present in all telecommunication systems. They synchronize the emitter and receiver of a message. The quality of the synchronization depends on the oscillator stability. To characterize the frequency domain oscillator stability, the phase noise of the carrier is used as figure of merit. An oscillator delivering a low phase noise carrier is a high spectral purity oscillator. Electronic oscillators are high performing at low frequencies. As communications systems require high data rate transmission, the electronic oscillators uses frequency multipliers that degrades the spectral purity of the carrier. The hybrid systems take advantage of the good performance of optical components at high frequency with the goal to be integrated in the electronic systems to overcome frequency limitation issues. This work use the optical injection locking technique by injecting the laser beam of a master laser inside the cavity of a VCSEL under direct modulation. The optical injection locking technique enlarges the direct modulation bandwidth of the VCSEL and reduces the Relative Intensity noise of the laser (RIN). The RIN reduction has as side effect the reduction of the additive noise inside the oscillator and, in consequence, reducing the oscillator phase noise.

A disponibilização de fontes ópticas multi-comprimento de onda de baixo custo certamente é um dos aspectos fundamentais para viabilizar a implantação de redes WDMPON (Wavelength Division Multiplexing-Passive Optical Network). Na literatura, são encontradas propostas de algumas tecnologias para a construção de tais dispositivos como a utilização de fontes ópticas sintonizáveis, uso de um vetor de lasers DFB (Distributed Feedback Laser) ou, até mesmo, o fatiamento espectral de uma fonte de banda larga. Contudo, essas propostas apresentam custo elevado, ou limitações de operação, tornando-se inapropriadas para a aplicação de interesse. Uma alternativa que vem sendo amplamente utilizada é o travamento óptico de diodos laser de Fabry-Pérot (FP-LD - Fabry-Pérot laser diode), realizado por meio da injeção de sinal óptico externo provindo do fatiamento espectral de uma fonte de banda larga. O travamento óptico possibilita o controle espectral do FP-LD, e o seu baixo custo torna essa fonte óptica atrativa na implantação de redes WDM. O entendimento do mecanismo de travamento torna-se, então, crucial na descrição da dinâmica de tais fontes ópticas. Desta forma, nesta dissertação, foi desenvolvido o estudo dos modelos matemáticos que descrevem a dinâmica de lasers travados, assim como foi investigado o desempenho de redes WDM-PON empregando estas fontes ópticas. / The availability of low cost multi-wavelength optical sources is certainly one of the fundamental aspects to allow the deployment of WDM-PON networks. Several technologies for the implementation of such optical sources are discussed in the literature, including tunable lasers, DFB arrays and spectral slicing of a broadband light source. However, those propositions suffer from high cost or operational limitations. One alternative is the optical injection locking of a Fabry Pérot laser diode (FPLD), in which the external optical injection signal is obtained from the spectral slicing of a broadband light source. This option has been widely investigated because the optical injection locking process allows for the FP-LD optical spectral control and wavelength selection. In addition, the low cost of such device makes this optical source an attractive solution for WDM-PON widespread deployment. In this context, the understanding of the locking mechanism becomes important in the optimization of such optical sources. Thus, in this dissertation, we conducted a study of mathematical models that describe the dynamics of locked lasers as well as investigated the performance of WDM-PON based on those optical sources.

Časoprostorová dynamika a koherentní řízení frekvenčních hřebenů kvantových kaskádových laserů / Spatio-temporal dynamics and coherent control of quantum cascade laser frequency combs

Konečný, Aleš January 2021 (has links)
Kvantové kaskádové laserové frekvenční hřebeny jsou slibnými kandidáty pro nové miniaturizované spektrometry bez pohyblivých částí. Mohou být generovány v samočinném režimu pomocí různých nelinearit vyvolaných asymetrickým ziskem a vlnovodovou disperzí. K simulaci samočinných hřebenů byl použit dostupný vysoce optimalizovaný nástroj založený na modelu postupné vlny. Dále byl rozšířen o funkci zamykání optickým vstřikováním, koherentní techniky ovládání frekvenčních hřebenů. Následné simulace potvrdily uzamčení pomocí vstřikovaného signálu. Bylo zjištěno, že disperze grupové rychlosti (GVD) má významný dopad na rozsah zamykání. GVD byla vypočtena pro typické zařízení a frekvenční hřeben byl uzamčen pomocí optického vstřikování v rozsahu ladění od -2 do 47 MHz.

Etude de cavités optiques formées de miroirs de Bragg à réseaux à pas variable : application aux filtres et lasers. / Study of optical cavities formed by chirped bragg mirrors : Application of filters and lasers

Wu, Xunqi 11 January 2012 (has links)
L'objectif de cette thèse vise à l'étude d'un laser à cavité étendue et/ou filtre optique, dont le miroir externe est un réseau de Bragg à pas variable linéairement. En ce qui concerne le milieu à gain dans le résonateur, l’amplificateur optique à semiconducteur (SOA, Semiconductor Optical Amplifier) peut offrir toutes les caractéristiques et avantages classiques et typiques tels que large bande passante spectrale de 50 nm, faible consommation, haute rapidité de commutation électro-optique etc.... Par conséquent, ce type de laser et/ou filtre optique offre de nombreuses applications intéressantes dans le domaine des télécommunications optiques.Dans cette recherche, les premiers travaux sont la conception de la cavité continuum passive à l'aide d’un réseau de Bragg à pas variable. A l’intérieur de cette cavité continuum, formée entre un miroir et un réseau de Bragg chirpé, toutes les longueurs d'onde de Bragg oscillent simultanément ; la phase après un aller-retour de chaque longueur d'onde doit rester constante. La largeur de bande passante du spectre de transmission peut être ajustée dans la bande C (entre 1525 nm et 1565 nm) pour répondre aux besoins des systèmes de multiplexage en longueur d'onde (WDM, Wavelength-Division Multiplexing). On appliquera dans un premier temps ce concept de cavité continuum à la conception et la réalisation d’un filtre optique à bande passante variable. Puis dans un deuxième temps on rajoute un amplificateur optique à semi-conducteur (SOA) dans cette cavité pour réaliser un laser dit continuum. On s’attend à une émission sur un large spectre défini par la bande de réflexion du réseau chirpé. Le contrôle et la compréhension des phénomènes liés à cette émission lumineuse feront l’objet de cette étude. La cavité laser dite continuum sera étudiée en régime d’injection optique. L’idée est d’utiliser cette source comme amplificateur résonant fonctionnant en régime d’injection locking. La contribution dans cette thèse couvre à la fois la modélisation numérique, et les manipulations expérimentales. La conception du filtre ainsi que des mesures expérimentales de validation ont été complètement réalisés sur une structure hybride constituée d’une cavité à fibre optique incluant les réseaux de Bragg. Un bon accord entre théorie et expérience a été obtenu. Par contre, les calculs ont montré qu’un filtre optique intégré sur semi-conducteur utilisant ce concept de cavité n’avait pas d’intérêt. Les propriétés spectrales du filtre réalisé montrent en effet qu’on ne pourra obtenir qu’un faible taux de réjection et une qualité médiocre de forme de filtre en version intégrée. La réalisation expérimentale d’une cavité laser continuum a pu être démontrée et les propriétés spectrales enregistrées. En particulier une émission laser avec une largeur de spectre de 10 nm a été observée. Même si il reste un grand travail de caractérisation et de modélisation pour comprendre totalement les mécanismes qui gouvernent le fonctionnement d’une telle structure, c’est un résultat totalement nouveau que l’on a obtenu ici. Cette structure a par ailleurs été testée en régime d’injection optique. Un fonctionnement d’injection locking est obtenu qui permet à cette structure de jouer le role d’amplificateur à faible bruit. / The aim of this thesis is focused on the study of an extended cavity laser or/and optical filter, whose external mirror is the linearly chirped Bragg grating. As for the gain medium in the resonant, SOA (Semiconductor Optical Amplifier) can act as optical gain device. It can offer all of the classic and typical characteristics and advantages like large spectral passband of 50 nm, low power consumption, high-speed electro-optical commutation and so on. Therefore, this type of laser or/and optical filter have many interesting applications in the field of optical telecommunications.In this research, the first works are the design of passive continuum resonant cavity using linearly chirped Bragg grating. Inside this so-called continuum cavity, formed between mirror and chirped grating, all of the Bragg wavelengths oscillate at the same time, so the round-trip phase of each oscillated wavelength should keep constant. Then there is a passband spectrum at the transmission side. The bandwidth of transmission could be varied in C band (from 1525 nm to 1565 nm) to satisfy the needs of wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) systems. This project is separated by two cases, one is about the external cavity applying chirped fiber Bragg grating as an external mirror, and the other is about the integrated cavity on InP chip, where the Bragg grating is already lithographed. Anyway, the first works of the thesis consist of numerical modeling, computational simulations and experimental manipulations.During the second works, the first step we add SOA as gain medium between two chirped fiber Bragg gratings for the purpose of generating laser. There are reflectors and active part in the passive cavity, so there is lasing far and away. It emits the typical F-P multimode light at the intersection of SOA gain band and reflection band of chirped grating. Then the second step is that a seed laser, whose frequency is nearby one of the longitudinal modes, is injected into the cavity in order to lock this mode. So there is only one emitted laser mode because of injection locking. This lasing resonant cavity could also be formed between mirror and linearly chirped Bragg grating.
