Article Abstract

We demonstrate a high linear polarization, narrow linewidth hybrid laser composed of a semiconductor gain chip and a high birefringence waveguide Bragg grating (WBG). The laser operates in the C-band, and a maximum output power of 8.07 mW is obtained in the fiber waveguide. With careful temperature tuning, the hybrid laser can operate in a single longitudinal mode state from above the threshold current to 410 mA. The side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) reaches a value of 50.2 dB, and the polarization extinction ratio exceeds 39.6 dB. We numerically analyze the linewidth suppression for the Bragg grating based on adiabatic chirp theory. The hybrid laser shows a narrow linewidth of 4.15 kHz and a low relative intensity noise (RIN) of <-155 dBc/Hz, providing a high-performance light source for coherent light communication.

Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals based on CdSe have been precisely optimized for photonic applications in the visible spectrum, with modern products exhibiting structural uniformity, near 100% quantum yield and linewidths narrower than 100 meV. Here we report homogeneous nanocrystals with tunable bandgaps in the infrared spectrum based on HgSe and HgCdSe alloys deriving from CdSe precursors. We find that Ag catalyses cation interdiffusion to reduce the CdSe-HgSe alloying temperature from 250 °C to 80 °C.

Organic-inorganic hybrid silver benzeneselenolate (AgSePh, Ph = CH) has been actively studied in recent years as a rejuvenated 2D layered multi-quantum well (multi-QW) semiconductor, whose monolayer is a single QW that bears a 2D semiconducting [SeAgSe] polymeric network sandwiched between two layers of organic phenyl rings through Se-C bond linkages. We report here the area-scalable preparation of AgSePh thin films and their multi-QW-derived optically controlled excitonic properties. The well-known silver mirror reaction enables us to prepare area-tunable silver films, which are then converted to high-quality polycrystalline AgSePh thin films with lateral sizes ranging from 2 cm × 2 cm to 10 cm × 10 cm by reacting with PhSe vapor an ethanol-assisted thermal evaporation process.

Multi-spectral optoacoustic microscopy (MS-OAM) requires high-performance light sources capable of delivering multiple intense spectral lines precisely matched to the absorption characteristics of selected biomolecules. We present a gas-filled anti-resonant hollow-core fiber (ARHCF) laser source optimized for near-infrared (NIR) MS-OAM. The hydrogen (H)-filled ARHCF laser emits multiple spectral lines with high pulse energy and narrow linewidths (<0.

An external power build-up cavity of a line-narrowed 407-nm laser diode for Raman gas analysis was demonstrated to possess good gas detection capabilities. By employing an ordinary laser diode without anti-reflection coating or and a bandpass interference filter in an external cavity resonance, the laser linewidth was narrowed by resonant optical feedback, and tens of watts of external cavity power were built up. The coupling mechanism between the semiconductor laser and the external cavity are discussed, as well as the noise background in the experimental results.

A standard method to reduce the linewidth of semiconductor lasers involves the use of external optical feedback (EOF). However, feedback powers less than 1 % usually trigger coherence collapse (CC), leading to chaotic laser dynamics and linewidth broadening. This paper explores a method to mitigate CC through precise tuning of the feedback polarization depending on the feedback power.
