Full textThis PhD thesis deals with the integration of InP based quantum dash mode locked lasers for use in optical communication systems and microwave optoelectronic applications. The properties of pulse and characterization methods are described as well as requirements for application in communication systems. Experimental and analytic method for pulse “chirp” characterization and compensation are also discussed. In particular, we demonstrate that high order dispersion can be compensated using specific fibre length. The characterization of quantum dash based mode locked lasers, has shown their potential to generate high spectral purity self-pulsating signals, with state-of-the-art spectral linewidth of ~ 850 Hz. Especially, the importance of, and way to reduce high-frequency jitter is discussed. Indeed, a novel method for measurement of high-frequency jitter based on optical cross-correlation technique is implemented. Systematic investigation of 10 GHz passively mode locked laser based on InAs/InP quantum dashes emitting at 1.55 µm have demonstrated a reduced value of timing jitter of 500 fs in the 150 kHz – 320 MHz frequency range. Compared to typical passively mode-locked quantum well laser which exhibit timing jitter in the range 12 ps (150 kHz – 50 MHz), our device demonstrates an approximately 25 times improvement in timing jitter. Concerning microwave optoelectronic applications, we demonstrate that a low phase noise oscillator can be obtained using a QD MLL integrated in an optical self injection loop without any opto-electronic or electro-optic conversion. A significant reduction of the -3 dB linewedith as low as 200Hz was obtained thanks to optimised tuning of the optical external cavity length. The phase noise has been reduced from -75dBc/Hz to a level as low as -105dBc/Hz at an offset of 100kHz. This yields to ultra low timing jitter and shows the potential to fabricate simple, and yet low noise oscillators based on semiconductor lasers without any high frequency electronics, photodetector or modulator. Finally, we report, for the first time, error-free transmission of 8 WDM channels over 50 km long single mode fiber at 10 Gbit/s using comb-generation in a quantum dash based mode locked laser. Such good performance paves the way for the use of mode locked-lasers in WDM transmission and allows considering such a solution in an integrated WDM transceiver

Full textThe important rise of telecommunication systems in the past decades, together with the sensitivity improvement of radar systems, has increased the necessity for high spectral purity frequency references at high frequencies. The saturation of classical microwave bandwidths motivated the search of frequency references at higher frequencies, such as K-band. Frequency multiplication from highly stable sources, such as quartz sources, is limited by the increase of the noise floor, which is often prohibitive at millimeter wave frequencies. On the contrary, microwave generation using optics becomes a very efficient technique in this frequency range. Indeed, passive optical resonators or delay lines feature a high Q factor which can be used to stabilize the microwave frequency. The best phase noise performance is today obtained with long delay line oscillators. However, a spurious mode suppression technique has to be implemented in this type of OEOs. The use of an active optical resonator is a third solution, which avoids any locking technique between the laser and the passive resonator. The first architecture of this type has been proposed at the end of the 1990's. In such a system, a mode-locked laser is coupled to a microwave oscillator (COEO). COEO phase noise performances are strongly dependent on the spectral purity of the mode locked laser signal. This thesis work focus on the study and the optimization of this system. Optical amplifiers noise is firstly investigated, in order to determine the optimal conditions to minimize their phase noise contribution to the COEO. A 10 GHz SOA based COEO has been realized and features a low phase noise level reaching - 132 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz from the carrier. An analytical model has also been developed to obtain the locking range of the coupled oscillations. This frequency range is strongly dependent on the coupling efficiency between optical oscillation and the optoelectronic oscillation. This parameter cannot be calculated analytically and an iterative model has been proposed to determine the amplitude and phase of the optical spectrum. Therefore, one can calculate the RF power on the photodiode, on which the coupling efficiency is depending. Since COEO features a large optical frequency comb where each tooth of the comb is phase locked thanks to the mode locked laser, harmonic generation from COEO is possible. Wide frequency comb from high frequency COEO allow millimeter wave generation. The iterative model developed in this work enable to determine the RF power of one specified harmonic from experimental parameters. Harmonic selection can also be performed through the management of the chromatic dispersion. Such frequency multiplication has been implemented to generate a high purity 90 GHz signal from a 30 GHz COEO.These results are promising and an integration of the system in a thermalized box is under process

Full textLaser beam combining appears as a solution to overcome the power limitations of a single laser. Two methods of laser coherent combining in a passive way have been explored in this thesis. Their potential for achieving a bulk configuration with multiple emitters operating in pulsed regime was studied. With these two methods, the emitted radiations are superposed only in the far field. The first configuration explored is laser combining by mutual injection. A fraction of the radiation from one laser seeds the neighboring resonator. Laser emissions are thus coupled step by step. Coherence properties of the emissions of lasers coupled by mutual injection have been studied numerically and experimentally. The second method is based on a multi-arm resonator of interferometric configuration. The different emitters self-adjust their relative phases to maximize the energy on the common path of the interferometric cavity. Spectral and spatial properties of emissions are considered experimentally and numerically. Numerical models have been developed for larger number of combined lasers. The last part deals with deterioration of output beams quality under high pumping level and the consequences on combining efficiency

Full textDissipative solitons (DS) are self-localized wave-packets appearing in spatially extended dissipative systems. In optics, all the DS that have been observed in propagative systems can be cast in two categories, depending on the presence or absence of an external forcing, i.e. the phase symmetry is broken or not. In forced systems, DS are locked in phase to forcing whereas without forcing, their phase is free an can wander in the course of time. In this thesis, we study the formation of propagative DS in two different experimental systems that fundamentally differ from the presence or lack of an external forcing. The first one is a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) submitted to a frequency selective feedback, in which DS form in the transverse plane of the system (2D). We analyze how the synchronization of the longitudinal frequencies (mode-locking) can give rise to tri-dimensionnal localization of light: light bullets. The second system is a highly multimode semiconductor ring laser with external forcing, whose spatial extension takes place along the propagation dimension. When the forcing frequency is slightly detuned from the natural frequency of the system, we can see the appearance of self-confined 2 pi phase rotations embedded in a homogeneous (synchronized) state. We then report on the first observation of DS that form in the phase of the optical wave : dissipative phase solitons

Full textLaser arrays are key components in many areas of science, technology, and civilian applications today. A remarkably new domain of application of laser arrays is the laser solver, which allows to parallelize the computation process spatially. For such applications a low noise array with identical laser's characteristics is required. At the same time, most of the listed applications require a coupling mechanism for the array. Most commonly, solid-state lasers are used today for such applications.However, in this work we present a new type of laser array based on the VECSEL (Vertical External Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers) with the intracavity coupling control. Such lasers are well known to be extremely low noise lasers. Their dynamics are a remarkable example of class-A dynamical behavior. Such dynamics is accompanied with the filtering of the transferred pump noise above the cavity cut-off frequency. At the same time the VECSEL is a semiconductor laser, which has distinguishing peculiarities, when compared with the solid-state laser. For example, it has a non-negligible Henry factor. Dynamics of such phase locked VECSEL arrays has not been studied yet.This laser is developed with a planar spatially degenerate cavity. Thanks to cavity degeneracy we transform a multimode VECSEL into an array of independent lasers with a designed loss mask. Thanks to the method of array development with a mask, we gain control on the coupling between lasers by the diffraction on the mask. The coupling is determined by the diffraction on the edges of the mask holes and consequent reflection on the output cavity mirror. Reflected field of each laser is injected to the neighboring holes. The coupling coefficient is complex. We numerically quantify it and then develop several models for the laser array dynamics description with considered complexity of the coupling coefficient. Each model characterizes one of the investigated mask topologies.Changes of the mask position were shown experimentally to change the coupling between lasers from zero to values large enough to phase-lock the laser array. We performed a noise measurement both for the unlocked and phase-locked solutions. The measured relative intensity noise spectra of individual lasers confirmed the class-A dynamics of the developed VECSEL array. Based on the cross-correlation on the noises of different lasers we discovered a clear correlation between phase-locking and a noises spectral correlation. Then, we could reproduce numerically and analytically the same results based on the models we developed.A particular interest of the project was situated on a ring laser array. Such arrays are known for their discrete series for the phase-difference solutions when phase-locked. We studied such solutions in our system. Each of them, except for the in-phase phase-locking, corresponds to a vortex with discrete phase increment between lasers. Since good quality vortices are extremely needed for particle micromotoring, information transfer, etc. we deeply studied such solutions in our system. We studied the limitations dictated by the Henry factor and derived a general analytical criterion for the existence of such solutions. We studied asymmetric vortex generation with non-uniform loss masks. Additionally, we studied theoretically the influence of optical feedback on the phase -locking in such a vortex. The noise model of such an array was experimentally confirmed with three lasers. Based on the model we found a simple method of the determination of the vortex sign (direction of the phase accumulation) based on the laser's noise measurements

Full textThe advancement of digital optical communication in the long-haul and access networks has triggered emerging technologies in the microwave/millimeter-wave domain. These hybrid systems are highly influenced not only by the optical link impairments but also electrical circuit effects. The optical and electrical effects can be well studied at the same time using computer aided tools by developing equivalent circuit models of the whole link components such as semiconductor lasers, modulators, photo detectors and optical fiber. In this thesis, circuit representations of the photonic link components are developed to study different architectures. Since the optical light source is the main limiting factor of the optical link, particular attention is given to including the most important characteristics of single mode semiconductor lasers. The laser equivalent circuit model which represents the envelope of the optical signal is modified to include the laser phase noise properties. This modification is particularly necessary to study systems where the optical phase noise is important. Such systems include optical remote heterodyne systems and optical self-heterodyne systems. Measurement results of the laser characteristics are compared with simulation results in order to validate the equivalent circuit model under different conditions. It is shown that the equivalent circuit model can precisely predict the component behaviors for system level simulations. To demonstrate the capability of the equivalent circuit model of the photonic link to analyze microwave/millimeter-wave systems, the new circuit model of the laser along with the behavioral models of other components are used to characterize different radio-over-fiber (RoF) links such as intensity modulation – direct detection (IM-DD) and optical heterodyne RoF systems. Wireless signal with specifications complying with IEEE 802.15.3c standard for the millimeter-wave frequency band is transmitted over the RoF links. The system performance is analyzed based on EVM evaluation. The analysis shows that effective analysis of microwave/millimeter-wave photonics systems is achieved by using circuit models which allows us to take into account both electrical and optical behaviors at the same time

Full textThe frequency stability of lasers is a sought-after property in many fields such as optical communications, spectroscopy and time-frequency metrology. In this context, the Foton Institute has developed a principle making it possible to spectrally self-narrow a laser at extremely low levels. For this we pump a non-reciprocal Brillouin resonator which generates a spectrally pure Stokes wave. The addition of a phase-locked loop which counter-reacts to the pump then makes it possible to avoid mode hops of the Brillouin resonator while spectrally narrowing the pump laser, thus producing a cascaded self-narrowing effect. In this manuscript, we theoretically and experimentally study the Brillouin assisted laser spectral self-narrowing system. The modeling of all of its constituents using the formalism of transfer functions is supported by experimental validations. These transfer functions account for the response of the different elements of the system to phase and amplitude fluctuations. The expression of the transfer function of the complete system is then validated experimentally by comparing the theoretical predictions to the open-loop transfer function measurements as well as in step response. Exploitation of the model and its adjustable physical parameters then makes it possible to further reduce frequency fluctuations for a solid-state pump laser emitting at 1.54 μm. This allows us in particular to highlight the fact that the Brillouin resonator in these phase-locking conditions plays the role of an optical reference. The performance of the system is then evaluated by duplicating it and measuring the beat between the two independent systems in the microwave domain. Finally, the “buffer reservoir” principle is added to the spectral narrowing system. This principle based on the insertion of a non-linear absorption mechanism in the pump laser makes it possible to reduce excess amplitude noise at relaxation oscillations by 32 dB. This eliminates the main source of amplitude noise converted into phase noise in the system

Full textA growing number of applications such as micro-machining of electronical components need high average power in a various range of wavelengths (infrared at 1030 nm, green at 515 nm and ultravioletat 343 nm). These high average power lasers are generally design using a MOPA (MasterOscillator Power Amplifier) scheme. Following this idea, Eolite systems wants to develop its own oscillators since it already masters the different difficulties when trying to reach high average power,especially by using rod-type fibers with a large mode area. The development of high power picosecondfiber oscillators is a essential piece in the global amplification scheme. In the frame of a CIFRE contract between Eolite Systems and the Laboratoire Onde et Matière d’Aquitaine of the Universitéde Bordeaux 1 we have developed different laser oscillators with an average power of more than10 W at a repetition rate of 74 MHz. The pulse duration generated is ranging from 20 ps down to130 fs. The pulsed regime was initiated using non-linear polarization evolution in the fiber and in anormal dispersion laser cavity. This lead to the generation of pulse energies in the range of 150 nJ for the different architectures. We also developed a numerical code in ordre to fully understand the influence of the different elements in the laser cavity. The results are in good agreement with those obtained with the experimental setup

Full textOscillators 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

Full textI report in this manuscript a theoretical and experimental study of a compact, reliable and low cost source of 30 Hz linewidth, continuous and coherent electromagnetic waves tunable from 1 GHz to 500 GHz in steps of 1 GHz. These waves are generated by photomixing two distributed feedback (DFB) laser diodes at 1550 nm which are frequency stabilized with orthogonal polarizations on the same optical fibered Fabry-Perot cavity. I have designed very fast electronic control filters for each laser allowing a 7 MHz servo bandwidth limited by the loop length. I demonstrate phase noise suppressions down to -60 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz and -90 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset frequencies from a 92 GHz electrical carrier. I also measure a ~170 kHz frequency drift of the beat note at 10 GHz on the long term over a continuous 7.5 hour locking period. I show an optimized design of an integrated servo loop of few tens of cm length which reduces the phase noise by 18 dB at 1 MHz optical carrier offset frequency and the phase-amplitude couplings in the cavity by a factor of 50 compared to the experimental one. The addition of a third DFB laser phase stabilized on a local oscillator allows the possibility to have continuously tunable source over 1 THz. The continuous wave source also makes it possible to generate fixed repetition rate pico- or femtosecond pulses from highly non-linear and dispersive fibers, replacing the DFB lasers by further stable lasers. I have calculated by simulation 7.2 fs temporal jitter at 40 GHz repetition rate over a 1 ms integration time

Full textLaser source are now extensively used by the biologists in their studies. In particular, the time resolved fluorescence lifetime imaging is a powerful way to obtain quantitative information on active molecules. To use efficiently this technique, a pulsed laser source operating in the visible or ultraviolet part of the spectrum is needed: the pulse duration should stand in the picosecond range whereas the repetition rate has to be around some MHz if we want to study long lifetimes (some tens of nanoseconds). The classical pulsed lasers work in the Q-switched or in the mode-locked regime: in both case, it is not straightforward to obtain short pulses at this "medium" repetition rate in a simple and compact structure: one has to built very short cavities to shorten the pulse duration of the Q-switched laser or very long cavities to decrease the repetition rate of the mode-locked laser. In this work we demonstrate a 200-mM long Q-switched laser as well as a 150 m long mode-locked one, each of them producing picosecond pulses at some MHz of repetition rate in the infrared (1064 nm). The saturable absorber was a semiconductor (SESAM) and the laser crystal is Nd:YVO4. We then develop a tridimentionnal multipass amplifier to increase the energy of the pulses. The original geometry of this amplifier allows optimized overlap between the pump and signal beam and leads to very efficient amplification (this structure was patented with JDS Uniphase). Finally, several non-linear stages are used to reach the UV (harmonic generation) and to obtain some tunability via optical parametric generation in a periodically poled lithium niobate crystal

Full textThe objectives of this thesis is the developement of two optoelectronic oscillator architectures dedicated to the generation of low noise microwave signals for radar applications. The first oscillator is based on the stabilization of the beatnote of a widely tunable dual-frequency laser with an optical fiber delay line. A fine analysis of the stabilization loop implemented with a 100 m long optical fiber allowed us to reach the technical limit fixed by the loop microwave amplifiers. The oscillator is tunable from 2. 5 to 5. 5 GHz by 2 MHz steps and present a phase noise power spectral density of -105 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset from the carrier (performance independent of the carrier frequency). The use of two optical fibers in a double delay lines architecture and of a fiber ring resonator as a delay line are also investigated. The second architecture developed is a coupled optoelectronic oscillator (COEO). The architecture, similar to a regenerative mode-locked laser, is realized by coupling a resonant laser cavity to a resonant optoelectronic loop. The developpement of this oscillator is based on a new architecture of SOA : an asymmetrical cladding semiconductor optical amplifier. This component offers better saturation power and lower intrinsic noise than the classical design. The COEO operates around 10 GHz. A phase noise power spectral density of -135 dBc/Hz is measured at 10 kHz offset from the carrier

Full textThis thesis is divided into three parts. The first part gives the theorical elements of the study respectively related to i) The kinetics C0₂ amplifier medium. Ii) The description of resonator modes. Iii) The CW injection of pulsed lasers. In the second part are reported the realization of a 1-10 J TEA C0₂ laser, its optical and electrical characterization, the injection-locking results for varions configurations and their comparison with theory. As the major point, the performance of stable- and unstable resonator TEA C0₂ lasers are compared in the case of CW single-mode injection. The heterodyne detection of the pulses allows to measure the main characteristics of single-mode injection-locking : the locking band-width and the minimum injection intensity. Other injection schemes are considered. I) The CW single mode injection in a ring resonator. Ii) The two transverse mode injection in a laser with an unstable resonator. The third part of the thesis is a detailed study of intra-pulse frequency variations and the refractive index effects in the amplifier medium. In the course of this work, new performances have been obtained of great interest for LIDAR applications. Lt is the first time that 5 μS 1 J single longitudinal mode pulses are obtained at 10 μm with unstable resonator lasers for injected powers as low as 200nW.

Finally it is the first time that two longitudinal mode operation of a high energy laser is controlled with the injection of a weak signal into the laser cavity

Full textThis thesis is directed at the study of injection-locking of high power pulsed lasers. Chapter I give a theoretical analysis of injection mode-locking in such lasers. A multimode theory is developed on the basis of the semi-classical treatment in the weak field regime. A detailed investigation of CW injection-locking is reported. It is clearly demonstrated that locking by injection of a weak field in a pulsed multimode laser stems from injection mode-locking whatever is the injection field time history. Thus the generation of short pulses by injection is described as well. Chapter II theoretically overviews the energetic features of the TEA CO₂ laser, with or without injection. Chapter III presents an experimental investigation of CW injection-locking in stable resonator TEA CO₂ lasers. Frequency measurements are performed with a new high frequency heterodyning scheme. The limits of CW injection locking are studied. Moreover, the influence of the transient discharge electron density on injection-locking is demonstrated. Chapter IV gives an experimental evidence of high order transverse mode injection-locking in unstable resonator TEA CO₂ lasers

Full textIn many communication receivers, it's necessary to locally generate carrier or clock reference signals. Generally, these signals are derived from the incoming signal using Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs). PLLs are usually considered in the classical mode of operation, where the input signal is permanently present. Nevertheless, these deviees are very used now in another mode of operation, where the input sig nal is present only in bursts. This is, for example, the case of the T. D. M. A system or the M. A. C television system. The study presented in this thesis deals with the operating properties of the PLLs used in the burst mode of operation. In this study, we consider the following types of PLLs: first order PLLs, second order PLLs with a passive lag-lead filter, second order PLLs with an active (proportional-plus-integral) filter, first order PLLs with a zero order hold, second order PLLs with a passive lag-lead filter and a zero order hold. The behavior of these PLLs is studied generally in the case of an operation characterized by an incoming signal affected by step changes in phase and frequency. The performances of these PLLs in the presence of an additive Gaussian noise are also presented. The last part is devoted to the practical use of the results of this study to the M. A. C system case

Full textThe explosion of the wireless communication market is largely responsible of the expansion for RF communication standards for voice and data. Nowadays, each one of them must be integrated in one mobile terminal.However, this trend is opposed to the constraints of low cost, which tend to reduce the size of the electronics in a mobile terminal, but also the constraints of reduced consumption for greater autonomy for wireless systems. It is then around these technological and technical barriers that focus an important part of efforts to « R & D » today. Thus, the objective of the work presented is based on research and development of an architecture that contributes to improve the performances of the central block of transceivers: the local oscillator.The innovative architecture of multistandard synthesizer realized is based on the principle of Delay Oriented Design (DOD). A new technique of stabilization, based on the superposition of a delay and a phase locked loop, is proposed to expand the bandwidth. From study system to measurements through the behavioral comportment and implementation of the circuit, the various stages when designing an RF system are presented. Simulations and measurements have demonstrated the ability of the synthesizer to cover a frequency band between 1.6 and 3.5 GHz with a reference signal at 500MHz, but also to stabilize a broadband architecture

Full textTHz QCLs are nowadays considered a promising platform for the generation of intense and ultrashort THz pulses. Owing to their fast gain recovery time, passive modelocking of THz QCLs has so far proved to be difficult. On the contrary, active modelocking with a microwave modulation has been successfully applied. The pulse duration, however, has been arduous to reduce despite years of research. In 2017, THz pulses as short as 4ps have been generated by our group with the application of an integrated structure (a GTI) aiming to reduce the chromatic dispersion. The research in this thesis starts from this point.In particular, I present dispersion engineering in THz QCLs in order to obtain very short pulses even from relatively narrow-band devices. This is achieved using proven active modulation methods that can tune the QCL emission from high to low dispersion regimes. I also show that THz QCLs can present a strong amplitude modulation of their emission profile and that they can spontaneously emit pulses as a result of a self-locking mechanism, contrary to the expected frequency modulated response. As a consequence, this indicates that the fast gain recovery time is not a limiting factor for the generation of pulses. I also show this passive self-locking scheme for passive pulse generation in the framework of the first demonstrations of harmonic modelocking of THz QCLs. Finally, a new phenomenon is presented where the modes of a free running THz QCL can beat together to generate free space microwave emission

Full textThis dissertation is related to the search for an economically sustainable solutionfor high data rate (several Gbps to several tens of Gbps) personal area networksoperating in the millimeter-wave region around 60 GHz. If such networks supplya large number of users, they need to encompass a multitude of antenna pointsin order to assure wireless access to the network. With the aim of reducing thecost of an antenna module, the networks should at best provide quasi "readyto-radiate" signals to the modules, i.e. at millimeter-wave carrier frequencies.Thanks to their low transmission loss and their high bandwidth, optical fiber distributionarchitectures represent a promising solution. The technique is referredto as the so-called "radio-over-fiber" approach whereby the analog radio signalwill be transported to the access point by an optical wave. The challenge herebyis the generation and modulation of an optical signal by a millimeter-wave radiosignal using preferably cost-efficient system components. The technique proposedherein is based on the use of mode-locked laser diodes which can generatesignals at very high frequencies under the condition of continuous current supply.Mode-locked laser diodes can be modulated both directly and externally. Thediodes employed in this work are based on so-called quantum dots (or quantumdashes); these are material structures which are themselves still subject to intensivephysical research. Signals at millimeter-wave frequencies (around 60 GHz)can easily be generated by such lasers. However, their frequency and phase stabilityis as yet limited. In the context of radio-over-fiber communication systems,these structures have not yet been studied in detail.In the course of this dissertation, several aspects are considered. A first systemstudy treats the basic properties of a system built from this type of laser source(available signal power, system noise figure, linearity etc.). A second study isdevoted to an investigation of propagation effects like dispersion, which considerablyinfluence the attainable transmission distances. An essential result of bothstudies is the importance of limiting the laser spectrum to a small number of lasermodes for an optimization of link gain, generated RF power, and system noisefigure. A third study deals with the limited frequency and phase stability whichturn out to be critical factors for transmission quality. The study of several generationsof quantum dot/dash lasers has revealed that the problems of frequencyand phase noise persist and cannot be solved using classical techniques involvinge.g. conventional phase-locked loops. In this dissertation, a solution is presentedwhich not only allows a more precise adjustment of the laser frequency (precisionin the order of Hz to kHz) than that given by the manufacturing process of thelaser (precision in the order of GHz), but also enables a stabilization of frequencyand phase
Die vorliegende Dissertation steht im Zusammenhang mit der Suche nach wirtschaftlichtragfähigen Lösungen zum Aufbau hochdatenratiger Heimnetzwerke(einige Gbps bis einige zehn Gbps), so genannter Personal area-Netzwerke imMillimeterwellenbereich um 60 GHz. Sollen diese Netze eine große Anzahl vonNutzern versorgen, wird eine Vielzahl von Zugangspunkten - also Antennenmodulen- benötigt, um den drahtlosen Netzanschluss zu ermöglichen. Um dieKosten eines Antennenmoduls soweit wie möglich zu senken, sollen die Netzequasi "abstrahlfertige" Signale an die Module liefern, d. h. auf Trägerfrequenzenim Millimeterwellenbereich. Glasfaserbasierte Verteilsysteme werden dankihrer geringen Leitungsverluste und ihrer hohen Bandbreite diesem Anspruchgerecht. Man spricht hier vom so genannten Radio-over-fiber-Ansatz, wobei dasanaloge Signal von einer optischen Welle zum Zugangspunkt transportiert wird.Die Herausforderung liegt hierbei in der Generierung und Modulation eines optischenSignals mit einem Nutzsignal imMillimeterwellenbereich - und das unterVerwendung möglichst kostengünstiger Komponenten. Die hier vorgeschlageneTechnik basiert auf der Nutzung von modengekoppelten Laserdioden, welcheallein bei Gleichstromversorgung Signale bei hohen Frequenzen erzeugen undsowohl direkt als auch extern moduliert werden können. Die Dioden, welche hierzur Verwendung kommen, basieren auf so genannten Quantenpunkten (englisch:quantum dot/quantum dash); es sind Strukturen, die selbst noch Gegenstand intensiverphysikalischer Forschung sind. Signale bei Frequenzen um 60 GHz könnenleicht von diesen Lasern erzeugt werden, wenn auch bisher nur bei begrenzterFrequenz- und Phasenstabilität. Im Kontext von Radio-over-fiber-Systemenwurden diese Strukturen noch nicht untersucht.Im Rahmen dieser Dissertation wurden mehrere Aspekte betrachtet. Eine ersteSystemstudie behandelt die grundlegendenEigenschaften eines Systems, welchesauf dieser Art von Lasern basiert (verfügbare Leistung, Rauschzahl, Linearitätusw.). Eine zweite Untersuchung ist der Erforschung von Ausbreitungseffektenwie etwa Dispersion gewidmet, welche die erreichbaren Entfernungen maßgeblichbeeinflusst. Ein wesentliches Ergebnis beider Studien ist die Relevanzeiner Begrenzung des Laserspektrums auf wenige Moden zur Optimierung vonGewinn, Hochfrequenz-Leistung und Rauschzahl. Eine dritte Studie untersuchtdie Frequenz-und die Phasenstabilität, welche sich als kritisch für die Übertragungsqualitäterweisen. Die Untersuchung von mehreren Generationen von modengekoppeltenQuantenpunktlasern hat ergeben, dass das Problem des FrequenzundPhasenrauschens fortbesteht und nicht auf konventionellem Weg wie z.B.durch die Verwendung von klassischen Phasenregelkreisen gelöst werden kann.Im Rahmen der Arbeit wurde eine Lösung für dieses Problem gefunden, welcheerstens eine bessere Feineinstellung der Frequenz erlaubt (Genauigkeit von Hzbis kHz), als sie durch den Laserfertigungsprozess gegeben ist (Genauigkeit vonGHz), und zweitens eine Stabilisierung von Frequenz und Phase ermöglicht

It emits pulses with 10 ns duration, 16 µJ energy and 1,6 kW peak power. Pulses were amplified in a large core fiber to reach 150 µJ energy and 13 kW peak power per pulses. The second part of this report is dedicated to the study of mode-locked thulium-doped fiber laser. An all-fiber oscillator in solitonic regime was built and characterized. It emits solitons of 4,5 ps duration and 62 pJ energy. Pulses were also amplified to achieve more than 8 kW peak power and 30 nJ energy without significant nonlinear distortion. We discuss the limitations of pulses amplification in the nanosecond and picosecond regimes with numerical simulation

The latter is very important for low jitter applications as ail optical clock recovery and millimeter wave generation. Stabilization technique based on optical feedback has been applied to reduce the timing jitter. Moreover, we present passive mode locked operation of a self-pulsating quantum dash Fabry-Perot laser diode at arepetition rate over 300 GHz

Full textThe development of integrated pulsed laser sources showing similar performances to those of bulk lasers represents a solution for applications in medicine, metrology and research where small size and robustness are required. Furthermore, the possibility to integrate both passive and active functions on the sa me substrate together with a high coupling efficiency with optical fibres makes these kinds of sources an attractive solution. This manuscript reports the study, realisation and characterisation of glass integrated optics hybrid passively Q-switched waveguide lasers. We have demonstrated the successful operation of a hybrid passively Q-switched waveguide laser. This laser is composed of a waveguide amplifier made of a Nd-doped phosphate glass combined with a saturable absorber cladding. The laser cavity was provided by two dielectric mirrors attached to the facets of the waveguides. An optical pulse width of 2. 0 :t 0. 1 ns was obtained for 180 :t 5 mW of launched pump power. The repetition rate ranges from 5 to 50 kHz for 110 to 260 :t 5 mW of launched pump power. The perspectives of this work could be the realisation of hybrid passively DFB Q-switched waveguide lasers and hybrid passively mode-Iocked waveguide lasers
