Description

频率间隔连续可调的V型耦合腔双波长半导体激光器V-coupled cavity dual-wavelength semiconductor laser with continuously adjustable frequency interval

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及微波光子学领域,尤其涉及一种用于微波产生的单片集成且频率间隔连续可调的V型耦合腔双波长半导体激光器。The invention relates to the field of microwave photonics, in particular to a single-chip integrated and continuously adjustable frequency interval V-shaped coupling cavity double-wavelength semiconductor laser for microwave generation.

背景技术Background technique

微波频段的信号在无线通信、雷达探测、微波传感等诸多领域均有非常重要的应用。特别是近年来随着用户对无线数据流量要求的急剧攀升以及“移动互联网”的迅速发展,高速宽带无线通信技术成为下一代无线通信技术的发展方向,也成为市场需求新的增长点。而微波光子技术,特别是微波光源的产生作为“移动互联网”的核心技术,正成为各个研究小组和学术机构的研究热点。Signals in the microwave frequency band have very important applications in many fields such as wireless communication, radar detection, and microwave sensing. Especially in recent years, with the rapid increase of users' requirements for wireless data traffic and the rapid development of "mobile Internet", high-speed broadband wireless communication technology has become the development direction of next-generation wireless communication technology and a new growth point of market demand. Microwave photon technology, especially the generation of microwave light source, as the core technology of "mobile Internet", is becoming a research hotspot in various research groups and academic institutions.

基于两束相近波长拍频产生微波载波是实现光生微波载波的主要方式。目前已经报道的技术主要包括三类:即基于多光栅耦合的光纤激光器或半导体激光器;基于光学非线性效应产生高频微波载波的微波光源系统;以及基于耦合腔耦合的半导体激光器。The generation of microwave carriers based on the beat frequency of two beams with similar wavelengths is the main way to realize optically generated microwave carriers. The technologies that have been reported so far mainly include three categories: fiber lasers or semiconductor lasers based on multi-grating coupling; microwave light source systems based on optical nonlinear effects to generate high-frequency microwave carriers; and semiconductor lasers based on coupled cavity coupling.

基于光栅耦合的光纤激光器由于其光栅可做得很长,并且具有很长的增益区,并且可以进行偏振控制或相位锁定等复杂的控制手段,一般具有较好的光谱特性和微波频谱特性,但其存在微波频率不可调谐,制作工艺复杂,系统体积庞大,成本较高等缺点。Fiber lasers based on grating coupling generally have good spectral characteristics and microwave spectral characteristics because their gratings can be made very long, and have a long gain region, and can perform complex control methods such as polarization control or phase locking. It has disadvantages such as untunable microwave frequency, complex manufacturing process, bulky system, and high cost.

而基于光纤非线性效应的微波光源系统一般能够实现微波频率的连续可调,并且基于非线性效应的双波长之间一般具有很好的相位相关性,能够实现较窄的微波频谱线宽,一般包括基于强度调制、相位调制、四波混频或受激布里渊散射等边带产生的技术、注入锁定技术以及锁相环技术等多种技术。但它本身需要提供一个精确的微波本振源,技术实现复杂,系统庞大,成本高等缺点。The microwave light source system based on the nonlinear effect of optical fiber can generally realize the continuous adjustment of the microwave frequency, and the two wavelengths based on the nonlinear effect generally have a good phase correlation, and can achieve a narrow microwave spectrum linewidth. Including technologies based on sideband generation such as intensity modulation, phase modulation, four-wave mixing or stimulated Brillouin scattering, injection locking technology, and phase-locked loop technology. However, it needs to provide an accurate microwave local oscillator source, which has disadvantages such as complicated technical implementation, huge system, and high cost.

对于微波载波的产生,通常需要激光器产生两个临近的、频率间隔和强度稳定的双波长。最常见的结构就是基于两个不同光栅周期的DFB串联耦合的结构。图1为基于光栅耦合的双波长半导体激光器示意图,被报道于"Dual-wavelength InGaAs-GaAs ridgewaveguide distributed Bragg reflector lasers with tunable mode separation.",Roh,S.D,et al.Photonics Technology Letters,IEEE 12.10(2000):1307-1309,由于光栅的选模作用,这类激光器一般具有很好的单模特性和频率稳定性。但这类激光器涉及复杂的光栅制作及二次外延生长,成本很高。For the generation of microwave carriers, lasers are usually required to generate two adjacent dual wavelengths with stable frequency spacing and intensity. The most common structure is based on the series coupling of two DFBs with different grating periods. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a dual-wavelength semiconductor laser based on grating coupling, which was reported in "Dual-wavelength InGaAs-GaAs ridgewaveguide distributed Bragg reflector lasers with tunable mode separation.", Roh, S.D, et al. Photonics Technology Letters, IEEE 12.10 (2000 ): 1307-1309, due to the mode selection effect of the grating, this type of laser generally has good single-mode and frequency stability. However, this type of laser involves complex grating fabrication and secondary epitaxial growth, and the cost is very high.

为了提供廉价的双波长频率间隔可调谐半导体激光器,何建军于2005年提出了一种基于多段FP谐振腔耦合的双波长半导体激光器,公开于美国发明专利:"Dual-wavelength semiconductor laser",公开号:US20050243882 A1。图2为该激光器的结构示意图。它由三段通过深刻蚀槽耦合的法布里-珀罗谐振腔串联构成,每个深刻蚀槽的宽度均为四分之一波长的奇数倍。其中相邻的两段法布里-珀罗谐振腔具有相等的光学长度,用来产生一系列的双波长梳状谱。另一段长度较短的法布里-珀罗标准具作为滤波器选出其中的某一个双波长模式。这类激光器可以实现双波长频率间隔的连续调谐,制作成本也比较低。但是由于制作工艺精度的限制,深刻蚀槽的宽度很难精确控制,同时器件的尺寸也比较长,制作的成品率不高。In order to provide a cheap dual-wavelength frequency interval tunable semiconductor laser, He Jianjun proposed a dual-wavelength semiconductor laser based on multi-segment FP resonator coupling in 2005, which was disclosed in the US invention patent: "Dual-wavelength semiconductor laser", publication number: US20050243882 A1. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the laser. It consists of three Fabry-Perot resonators connected in series through deeply etched grooves, and the width of each deeply etched groove is an odd multiple of a quarter wavelength. The two adjacent Fabry-Perot resonators have equal optical lengths and are used to generate a series of dual-wavelength comb spectra. Another shorter Fabry-Perot etalon acts as a filter to select one of the dual-wavelength modes. This type of laser can achieve continuous tuning of the frequency interval of two wavelengths, and the production cost is relatively low. However, due to the limitation of the precision of the manufacturing process, it is difficult to accurately control the width of the deep etching groove, and at the same time, the size of the device is relatively long, and the yield of the manufacturing is not high.

具体实施方式detailed description

下面根据附图和实施例,详细说明本发明。The present invention will be described in detail below according to the drawings and embodiments.

本发明采用基于耦合腔耦合的半导体激光器,利用多段FP腔相互耦合来产生双波长,相对背景技术中的前两种方法,它产生的微波频谱线宽会有一定展宽,但由于两束波长共享一个增益腔,具有相同的外界环境,两个波长之间也具有较强的相位相关性,能够实现较好的微波频谱特性。The present invention uses a semiconductor laser based on coupled cavity coupling, and utilizes multi-segment FP cavity coupling to generate dual wavelengths. Compared with the first two methods in the background technology, the microwave spectrum line width produced by it will have a certain broadening, but because the two wavelengths share A gain cavity has the same external environment and a strong phase correlation between two wavelengths, which can achieve better microwave spectrum characteristics.

本发明的实施例及其工作原理如下:Embodiments of the present invention and working principle thereof are as follows:

具体实施中,如图3所示,本发明包括两段等长的有源法布里-珀罗谐振腔以及两段不等长的无源法布里-珀罗谐振腔,V型腔的两臂通过四分之一波长耦合区1耦合连接,多模耦合区1的端面具有腔面反射面7,V型腔的每一臂都是由有源法布里-珀罗谐振腔和无源法布里-珀罗标准具串联构成,所形成的四分之一波长耦合区的直通耦合系数与交叉耦合系数之间具有90°的相位差。第一有源谐振腔2和第二有源谐振腔3中位于多模耦合区1的部分和有源谐振腔的其余部分衔接处均设有用于电隔离的浅刻蚀槽18。In the specific implementation, as shown in Figure 3, the present invention includes two sections of equal-length active Fabry-Perot resonators and two sections of unequal-length passive Fabry-Perot resonators, the V-shaped cavity The two arms are coupled and connected through a quarter-wavelength coupling region 1, and the end face of the multimode coupling region 1 has a cavity surface reflection surface 7, and each arm of the V-shaped cavity is composed of an active Fabry-Perot resonator cavity and a wireless The source Fabry-Perot etalons are connected in series, and the phase difference between the through-coupling coefficient and the cross-coupling coefficient of the formed quarter-wavelength coupling region is 90°. Shallow etching grooves 18 for electrical isolation are provided at the joints between the first active resonant cavity 2 and the second active resonant cavity 3 at the part located in the multimode coupling region 1 and the rest of the active resonant cavity.

第一有源法布里-珀罗谐振腔2和第一无源法布里-珀罗谐振腔4之间通过深刻蚀槽6串联构成激光器的一臂,第二有源法布里-珀罗谐振腔3和第二无源法布里-珀罗谐振腔5之间通过深刻蚀槽6串联构成激光器的另一臂;有源法布里-珀罗谐振腔2与有源法布里-珀罗谐振腔3之间通过一段四分之一波长耦合器连接。耦合区上设有相位微调电极8,两臂有源谐振腔上设有增益调节电极9和10,两臂无源滤波器上设有折射率微调电极11和12。Between the first active Fabry-Perot resonator 2 and the first passive Fabry-Perot resonator 4, an arm of the laser is formed in series through a deep etched groove 6, and the second active Fabry-Perot resonator The other arm of the laser is formed in series between the Luo resonator 3 and the second passive Fabry-Perot resonator 5 through a deep etched groove 6; the active Fabry-Perot resonator 2 and the active Fabry-Perot resonator - The Perot resonators 3 are connected through a quarter-wavelength coupler. The phase fine-tuning electrode 8 is arranged on the coupling area, the gain adjustment electrodes 9 and 10 are arranged on the two-arm active resonant cavity, and the refractive index fine-tuning electrodes 11 and 12 are arranged on the two-arm passive filter.

这里定义直通耦合系数为有源法布里-珀罗谐振腔经多模耦合区1的端面反射后返回自身谐振腔的光场强度与入射光场强度的比值,交叉耦合系数为有源法布里-珀罗谐振腔经多模耦合区1的端面反射后进入另一个谐振腔的光场强度与入射光场强度的比值。Here, the through-coupling coefficient is defined as the ratio of the light field intensity of the active Fabry-Perot resonator back to its own resonator after being reflected by the end face of the multimode coupling region 1 to the incident light field intensity, and the cross-coupling coefficient is the active Fabry-Perot resonator The ratio of the intensity of the light field entering another resonator after being reflected by the end face of the multimode coupling region 1 in the Li-Perot resonator to the intensity of the incident light field.

激光器工作时,四分之一波长耦合器及两段相等的法布里-珀罗有源腔在电注入条件下会出现一系列的双波长梳状谱。长度稍短的法布里-珀罗谐振腔作为滤波器用来选出其中的一对双波长作为最终的激射模。输出的双波长的拍频信号可以通过高速光探测器接收转化成对应的微波载波信号。通过调节两臂有源谐振腔的注入电流比例,可以调节双波长之间的频率间隔,并保证输出光强不变,从而实现微波载波信号的可调谐。对于无源滤波器,可以通过载流子注入效应或者反偏电光效应来改变波导的有效折射率,利用电反馈信号控制无源滤波器的中心波长,从而稳定两个波长之间的相对强度。When the laser is working, the quarter-wavelength coupler and two equal Fabry-Perot active cavities will appear a series of dual-wavelength comb spectra under the condition of electrical injection. The slightly shorter Fabry-Perot resonator is used as a filter to select a pair of dual wavelengths as the final lasing mode. The output dual-wavelength beat frequency signal can be converted into a corresponding microwave carrier signal by receiving and converting it through a high-speed photodetector. By adjusting the injection current ratio of the two-arm active resonant cavity, the frequency interval between the two wavelengths can be adjusted, and the output light intensity can be kept constant, thereby realizing the tunable microwave carrier signal. For passive filters, the effective refractive index of the waveguide can be changed by the carrier injection effect or the reverse polarization electro-optic effect, and the central wavelength of the passive filter can be controlled by an electrical feedback signal, thereby stabilizing the relative intensity between the two wavelengths.

相对刻蚀槽耦合的双波长半导体激光器,基于四分之一波长耦合器的半导体激光器由于耦合器电极上的偏置电流可以提供一定范围的相位补偿,大大增加了激光器工艺的制作容差,提高了器件制作的成品率。同时V型腔的结构也使器件的尺寸更加紧凑,提高了器件的集成度。Compared with the dual-wavelength semiconductor laser coupled by etching grooves, the semiconductor laser based on the quarter-wave coupler can provide a certain range of phase compensation due to the bias current on the coupler electrode, which greatly increases the manufacturing tolerance of the laser process and improves The yield rate of device fabrication is improved. At the same time, the structure of the V-shaped cavity also makes the size of the device more compact and improves the integration of the device.

如图4所示,具体实施的激光器的层状由衬底层16、缓冲层15、提供光学增益的芯层14以及上包层13构成,器件的上表面和下表面会镀上不同的电极金属材料形成P型电极和N型电极,第一、第二增益调节电极9和10作为P型电极,衬底层16底部的背面电极17作为N型电极。这样可以通过电注入提供光学增益。一般情况下芯层由多量子阱层构成,并根据不同的情况进行一定量的掺杂。从横截面上来看,一般采用脊型波导或掩埋型波导来限制光场。As shown in Fig. 4, the layered shape of the specific implementation laser is composed of a substrate layer 16, a buffer layer 15, a core layer 14 providing optical gain, and an upper cladding layer 13, and the upper and lower surfaces of the device are plated with different electrode metals The materials form P-type electrodes and N-type electrodes, the first and second gain adjustment electrodes 9 and 10 are used as P-type electrodes, and the back electrode 17 at the bottom of the substrate layer 16 is used as N-type electrodes. This provides optical gain through electrical injection. Generally, the core layer is composed of multiple quantum well layers, and a certain amount of doping is carried out according to different situations. From the perspective of cross-section, ridge waveguides or buried waveguides are generally used to confine the light field.

如图5所示,除了在有源波导和无源滤波器之间用深刻蚀槽6隔开外,四分之一波长耦合器上的相位微调电极和有源谐振腔上的增益电极之间还需要浅刻蚀槽18进行电隔离。As shown in Figure 5, except that the active waveguide and the passive filter are separated by a deep etched groove 6, the phase fine-tuning electrode on the quarter-wavelength coupler and the gain electrode on the active resonator Shallow etched trenches 18 are also required for electrical isolation.

激光器结构中的深刻蚀槽用来作为谐振腔的高反射面。为了达到较高的反射率,深刻蚀槽的宽度必须是四分之一波长的奇数倍。空气深刻蚀槽的透射率和反射率与槽宽的关系如图6所示,可发现,只有在四分之一波长奇数倍的位置才会出现反射率的极大值。理论上,当空气槽宽度为四分之一波长时损耗最小,随着槽宽的增加,光场由于在空气槽中的模式扩散和衍射效应会引起损耗的增加,因此反射率的峰值在逐渐减小。另一方面,槽宽的减小对制作工艺的精度要求越来越高。对于1550nm的波长来说,四分之一波长仅为0.3875um,普通的光刻工艺很难满足要求。对于目前工艺,空气槽制作的误差在±0.1um量级,为了满足工艺上的要求,一般采用5/4λ,即1.94um,其中λ为激光器的工作波长。Deeply etched grooves in the laser structure serve as highly reflective surfaces for the resonator. In order to achieve high reflectivity, the width of the deeply etched groove must be an odd multiple of a quarter wavelength. The relationship between the transmittance and reflectance of deep air-etched grooves and the groove width is shown in Figure 6. It can be found that the maximum value of reflectivity appears only at odd multiples of a quarter wavelength. Theoretically, when the width of the air slot is a quarter of the wavelength, the loss is the smallest. With the increase of the slot width, the loss of the light field will increase due to the mode diffusion and diffraction effect in the air slot, so the peak value of the reflectivity is gradually increasing. decrease. On the other hand, the reduction of the groove width requires higher and higher precision of the manufacturing process. For the wavelength of 1550nm, the quarter wavelength is only 0.3875um, and it is difficult for ordinary photolithography to meet the requirements. For the current process, the error of the air groove is on the order of ±0.1um. In order to meet the requirements of the process, 5/4λ is generally used, that is, 1.94um, where λ is the working wavelength of the laser.

为了阐明双波长激光器的工作原理,首先只考虑不包含无源滤波器的激光器结构,用传输矩阵法计算不包含滤波器条件下的V型腔激光器的小信号增益谱,如图7所示。假定激光器的有效折射率为3.29,两个有源谐振腔的腔长为L1=L2=210.1um,四分之一波长耦合器的直通耦合系数为0.6,并且两臂拥有相等的增益系数(g1=g2=29.9cm-1),可发现一系列的双波长梳状谱,双波长之间的波长间隔为0.42nm,自由光谱范围为1.6nm。对应情况下的阈值增益谱如图8所示,可发现四分之一波长耦合器并没有模式选择性,所有的双波长模式都能够同时起振。In order to clarify the working principle of the dual-wavelength laser, first only the laser structure without a passive filter is considered, and the small-signal gain spectrum of the V-cavity laser without a filter is calculated by the transfer matrix method, as shown in Figure 7. Assuming that the effective refractive index of the laser is 3.29, the cavity length of the two active resonators is L 1 =L 2 =210.1um, the through-coupling coefficient of the quarter-wavelength coupler is 0.6, and the two arms have equal gain coefficients (g1=g2=29.9cm -1 ), a series of dual-wavelength comb spectra can be found, the wavelength interval between the two wavelengths is 0.42nm, and the free spectral range is 1.6nm. The threshold gain spectrum in the corresponding case is shown in Fig. 8. It can be found that the quarter-wavelength coupler has no mode selectivity, and all dual-wavelength modes can start to oscillate simultaneously.

激光器两臂在注入相等增益和不同增益条件下的小信号增益谱如图9所示,激光器参数设定为有源腔腔长L1=L2=210.1um,四分之一波长耦合器的直通耦合系数为0.8。当两臂注入相等增益时(第一增益和第二增益分别是g1=g2=29.87cm-1),小信号增益谱和图7相同,双波长之间的波长间隔为0.356nm,对应频率间隔为44.5GHz,如图9中实线所示。如果增大两臂之间的增益差,双波长之间的频率间隔会减小。如图9中虚线所示,当g1=0cm-1,g2=59.7cm-1时,双波长之间的波长间隔为0.152nm,对应频率间隔为19GHz。图10给出了在不考虑无源波导滤波器时,双波长频率间隔和两臂之间增益差的关系,这里设定两个有源谐振腔的腔长L1=L2=210.1um,直通耦合系数为0.6,可以发现当两臂具有相等的增益时,双波长之间的频率间隔最大,随着两臂之间增益差的增加,双波长之间的频率间隔逐渐减小。The small-signal gain spectra of the two arms of the laser under the conditions of equal injection gain and different gains are shown in Figure 9. The laser parameters are set to the active cavity length L 1 =L 2 =210.1um, and the quarter-wavelength coupler The thru coupling factor is 0.8. When the two arms inject equal gains (the first gain and the second gain are g1=g2=29.87cm -1 respectively), the small signal gain spectrum is the same as that in Figure 7, and the wavelength interval between the two wavelengths is 0.356nm, corresponding to the frequency interval is 44.5GHz, as shown by the solid line in Figure 9. If the gain difference between the two arms is increased, the frequency separation between the two wavelengths decreases. As shown by the dotted line in Fig. 9, when g1=0cm -1 and g2=59.7cm -1 , the wavelength interval between the two wavelengths is 0.152nm, and the corresponding frequency interval is 19GHz. Figure 10 shows the relationship between the dual-wavelength frequency interval and the gain difference between the two arms when the passive waveguide filter is not considered, here the cavity length L 1 =L 2 =210.1um of the two active resonant cavities is set, The direct coupling coefficient is 0.6, and it can be found that when the two arms have equal gains, the frequency separation between the two wavelengths is the largest, and as the gain difference between the two arms increases, the frequency separation between the two wavelengths gradually decreases.

图11为本发明实施例在不考虑无源波导滤波器时,双波长最大频率间隔(对应两臂拥有相等的增益系数)和有源腔腔长的关系。耦合器的直通耦合系数设为0.6,可以发现,双波长最大频率间隔随着腔长的增加而减少。Fig. 11 shows the relationship between the maximum frequency separation of two wavelengths (corresponding to two arms having equal gain coefficients) and the cavity length of the active cavity when the passive waveguide filter is not considered in the embodiment of the present invention. The through-coupling coefficient of the coupler is set to 0.6, and it can be found that the maximum frequency separation of the two wavelengths decreases with the increase of the cavity length.

图12给出了双波长最大频率间隔(对应两臂拥有相等的增益系数)和四分之一波长耦合器直通耦合系数之间的关系。随着耦合器直通耦合系数的增加,双波长最大频率间也隔逐渐减少,因此可根据需要合理地选择激光器的腔长和耦合器的参数。Figure 12 shows the relationship between the maximum frequency separation at two wavelengths (corresponding to two arms having equal gain coefficients) and the quarter-wave coupler through-coupling coefficient. With the increase of the through-coupling coefficient of the coupler, the maximum frequency interval between the two wavelengths is gradually reduced, so the cavity length of the laser and the parameters of the coupler can be reasonably selected according to the needs.

由于四分之一波长耦合器本身没有模式选择性,为了选出双波长频率梳中的某一个双波长模式作为激射模,需要采用无源滤波器进行滤波选模。图13给出了本发明实施例的两段无源波导滤波器的反射谱及其叠加谱。激光器两臂的腔长设为L1=L2=210um,刻蚀槽的宽度设为5/4λ,两段无源滤波器的长度分别为Lf1=19.9um和Lf2=61.4um。位于滤波器中心的模式将会具有最低的阈值增益而激射。滤波器的自由光谱范围由滤波器的腔长决定,满足△f=c/2ngLp,其中,c为真空中的光速,ng为光在波导中传输的群速度,Lp为无源滤波器的腔长。为了使增益谱内只有一个双波长模式激射,其中的一个滤波器长度必须足够短,以保证其自由光谱范围大于激光器的增益谱宽。但较短的滤波器对应的滤波函数的半高全宽比较宽,模式选择比不高,这可以通过增加一个较长的无源滤波器来同时实现较窄的滤波函数和较宽的自由光谱范围。对应的包括两个无源滤波器后的小信号增益谱如图14所示,可以发现,只有一个双波长模式能够起振,图15则为对应的阈值增益谱。由图发现,对应滤波器中心波长的位置具有最低的阈值增益,为44.5cm-1,相邻双波长模式的阈值增益为49.5cm-1,阈值增益差达到了5cm-1,具有很好的模式选择性。Since the quarter-wavelength coupler itself has no mode selectivity, in order to select a certain dual-wavelength mode in the dual-wavelength frequency comb as the lasing mode, it is necessary to use a passive filter for filtering mode selection. Fig. 13 shows the reflection spectrum and superposition spectrum of the two-stage passive waveguide filter of the embodiment of the present invention. The cavity length of the two arms of the laser is set to L 1 =L 2 =210um, the width of the etched groove is set to 5/4λ, and the lengths of the two passive filters are L f1 =19.9um and L f2 =61.4um respectively. The mode at the center of the filter will be fired with the lowest threshold gain. The free spectral range of the filter is determined by the cavity length of the filter, satisfying △f=c/2ng L p , where c is the speed of light in vacuum, n g is the group velocity of light propagating in the waveguide, and L p is the The cavity length of the source filter. In order to have only one dual-wavelength mode lasing in the gain spectrum, one of the filter lengths must be short enough to ensure that its free spectral range is larger than the laser's gain spectral width. However, the full width at half maximum of the filter function corresponding to a shorter filter is wider, and the mode selection ratio is not high. This can achieve a narrower filter function and a wider free spectral range at the same time by adding a longer passive filter. The corresponding small-signal gain spectrum including two passive filters is shown in Figure 14. It can be found that only one dual-wavelength mode can start to oscillate, and Figure 15 shows the corresponding threshold gain spectrum. It is found from the figure that the position corresponding to the center wavelength of the filter has the lowest threshold gain, which is 44.5cm-1, the threshold gain of the adjacent dual-wavelength mode is 49.5cm-1, and the threshold gain difference reaches 5cm-1, which has a very good Mode selectivity.

如果滤波器的中心波长能够对准双波长模式的中心,这两个模式会具有相同的阈值增益同时起振,并且具有相同的输出功率。但是由于腔内存在模式竞争或温度漂移等不稳定因素,两个波长的输出功率会出现一定的抖动。为了稳定双波长之间的相对强度,可以将电反馈信号加载到无源滤波器上,通过改变无源滤波器的折射率来微调滤波器的中心波长。电反馈信号可以通过在片上或腔外集成光探测器,利用双波长的拍频信号作为负反馈来稳定PD输出的微波载波信号的强度。If the center wavelength of the filter can be aligned with the center of the dual-wavelength mode, the two modes will have the same threshold gain and start to oscillate at the same time, and have the same output power. However, due to unstable factors such as mode competition or temperature drift in the cavity, the output power of the two wavelengths will fluctuate to a certain extent. In order to stabilize the relative intensity between the two wavelengths, an electrical feedback signal can be loaded onto the passive filter, and the central wavelength of the filter can be fine-tuned by changing the refractive index of the passive filter. The electrical feedback signal can stabilize the intensity of the microwave carrier signal output by the PD by integrating a photodetector on-chip or outside the cavity, and using a dual-wavelength beat signal as negative feedback.

对于无源滤波器,可通过刻蚀再生长禁带宽度更大的无源波导的方法来实现,也可以通过一些芯片后处理的方式,如量子阱混杂技术等。如果制作工艺不允许,也可以通过将有源滤波器电注入到刚好在阈值增益以下来实现。For passive filters, it can be realized by etching and regrowing a passive waveguide with a larger forbidden band width, or by some chip post-processing methods, such as quantum well hybrid technology. If the fabrication process does not permit, this can also be achieved by electrically injecting the active filter just below the threshold gain.

综合上述,本发明尺寸小,制作工艺简单,四分之一波长耦合器的引入除了能够实现激光器的双波长激射,还使器件的制作工艺容差大大增加,提高了器件的成品率,具有突出显著的技术效果。除此之外,本发明在不引入外部本振光源的条件下就能够用简单的算法实现双波长频率间隔的连续可调,利用负反馈信号还可以实现微波功率和频率的稳定,具有很大的发展前景和商业应用价值。To sum up the above, the present invention is small in size and simple in manufacturing process. The introduction of the quarter-wavelength coupler can not only realize the dual-wavelength lasing of the laser, but also greatly increase the tolerance of the manufacturing process of the device and improve the yield of the device. Highlight significant technical effects. In addition, the present invention can realize the continuous adjustment of the frequency interval of two wavelengths with a simple algorithm without introducing an external local oscillator light source, and can also realize the stability of microwave power and frequency by using the negative feedback signal, which has great advantages. development prospects and commercial application value.
