abstract: Abstract In order to obtain narrow linewidth semiconductor laser around 1564 nm, we design a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) laser with high order Bragg gratings (HOBGs) using butterfly encapsulation. The DBR laser is fabricated only by i line lithography technology with grating period of 4. 84 m m groove width of 1. 5 m m and grating length of 72 m m on a strip width of 4 m m The 1mm long devices achieved an output power of 9.9 mW and a side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) more than 30 dB without facet coating at an injection current of 80 mA. The lasers showed ultra narrow Lorentz linewidth of 70 kHz. This paper provides a simple method for large scale production of narrow linewidth semiconductor lasers.

abstract: In order to obtain narrow linewidth semiconductor laser around 1564 nm, we design a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) laser based on surface etched high order Bragg gratings (SE HOBGs) To achieve C band Bragg resonance wavelength selection, the laser is designed as a grating period of 4.84 mm, an etched groove depth of 1.2 mm, a grating duty cycle of 69% a total grating length of 72 mm, and a ridge waveguide width of 4.0 mm. For the DBR laser with cavity length of 1 mm, the output power reaches to 9.9 mW/facet and a 1564 nm laser output with a side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) more than 30 dB at an injection current of 80 mA. We measured and analyzed the phase/frequency noise, linewidth characteristics and the relative intensity noise (RIN) characteristics of the laser in detail. The lasers showed narrow Lorentz linewidth of 70 kHz. This paper provides a simple method for large scale production of narrow linewidth semiconductor lasers.

abstract: Abstract Surface emitting distributed feedback (SE DFB) semiconductor laser has become one of study hotspots due to its narrow linewidth and high power. Herein, a SE DFB semiconductor laser is proposed based on second order Bragg grating for feedback and out coupling. The grating is fabricated on the confinement layer, which can realize the laser emission from the substrate and avoid the secondary epitaxial growth. The asymmetric waveguide structure is introduced into the device to increase the probability of photon and grating interaction while reducing the threshold current. The results show that when the current is 3A, the output laser power from the substrate achieves 1.22 W. In the meantime, the threshold current, voltage and slope efficiency are 300 mA, 1.73 V and 0.45 W/A, respectively. The center wavelength is 980.1 nm and the linewidth is 0.84 nm. This work has important implications for low threshold current narrow linewidth SE DFB semiconductor lasers.

abstract: We demonstrate ultra narrow linewidth fixed wavelength hybrid lasers composing a semiconductor gain chip and extended silicon nitride Bragg grating. Fabricated ultra low k Bragg gratings provide a narrow bandwidth and high side lobe suppression ratio. A single wavelength 1544 nm hybrid extended distributed Bragg reflector laser with 24 mW output power and a Lorentzian linewidth of 320 Hz is demonstrated, providing a high performance light source for on and off chip applications.

abstract: We describe a simple, narrow linewidth, tunable fiber based laser with a high degree of tuning accuracy. A polarization independent semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is used as the gain medium in a unidirectional fiber ring cavity with a circulator connected to a 6 meter long chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG) The laser wavelength is chosen by setting the modulation frequency of the SOA the same as the harmonics of the fundamental repetition rate of the light reflected at a specific point on the CFBG. Careful management of the drive current and pulse width helps to generate laser light of narrow linewidth (less than 0.03 nm) with low power variation (1.46 dB) over a tuning range of 40 nm.

abstract: We experimentally demonstrate an all fiber high power fiber amplifier with high beam quality and a slope efficiency of 81.8% using a fiber Bragg grating stabilized laser diode as a narrow spectral linewidth (0.08 nm) seed source. During amplification, the spectral linewidth of the laser output is broadened from 0.08 to 0.24 nm due to nonlinear phenomena. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first experimental observation of the suppression of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) with increased output power. In addition, we investigated the SBS suppression by simultaneously measuring the optical backscattered power, backscattered spectrum, and output spectrum at different values of output power. The beam quality, M2, was measured to be ~1.28 at the maximum output power of 2.05 kW, and modal instability was not observed.

abstract: Abstract We demonstrated a narrow linewidth monolithic fiber Bragg grating based (FBG based) MOPA configuration fiber laser with a high power spectral density (PSD) In the oscillator, long grating length FBG with narrow reflection bandwidth was employed, combined with a short length resonant cavity, contributing to a narrow linewidth high PSD seed laser. In the amplifier stage, methods were taken to suppress spectrum broadening, such as large core active fiber and wavelength stabilized laser diode. As a result, the fiber laser achieved an output power of 3010 W, a spectral 3 dB bandwidth of 103 pm, and a PSD of 29.3 pm/kW. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest PSD reported by an all fiber FBG based fiber laser.
