cavity tuning
5.The properties, such as output pulse width and spectrum of actively mode-loc-"king semiconductor laser with an external grating cavity are studied in detail. The Optimization process of the parameters of the device influencing the pulse width is given. With sinusoidal microwave modulation, a fully mode-locked pulse train is obtained with the FWHM as short as 8.2ps, repeated frequency 961.06MHz, peak power greater than 150mW and tuning range greater than 10nm.
6.In this paper, the experimental results of an unidirectional operation laser, includins input-output curve, the power ratio of the two oppositely travelins waves under different coupler transittunces and pump levels, the tuning characteristics with a prism in the external cavity, and the narrowing of the output spectrum with etalons, are given.
