    摘要: A laser light source, comprising a semiconductor layer sequence on a substrate and having an active region and a radiation coupling out area having first and second partial regions and a filter structure. The active region generates coherent first electromagnetic radiation and incoherent second electromagnetic radiation, the coherent first electromagnetic radiation is emitted by the first partial region along an emission direction, the incoherent second electromagnetic radiation is emitted by the first partial region and by the second partial region. The filter structure at least partly attenuates the incoherent second electromagnetic radiation emitted by the active region along the emission direction. The filter structure has at least one filter element arranged on an area of the semiconductor layer sequence which has an extension direction parallel to the emission direction and which is remote from the substrate.

    摘要: An adjustable optical signal delay module which adjusts power of an amplified spontaneous emission generated by a semiconductor optical amplifier and feeds the adjusted amplified spontaneous emission back to the semiconductor optical amplifier in a direction opposite to an optical signal being amplified by the semiconductor optical amplifier is provided. The feedback of the adjusted amplified spontaneous emission varies a group refractive index of the semiconductor optical amplifier and delays the transmission of an optical signal through the semiconductor optical amplifier. By that arrangement, the adjustable optical delay module obviates the need for the pump laser conventionally required by a coherent population oscillation mechanism. The feedback optical loop includes a variable optical attenuator, an optical filter, and optical circulators. A user can control the delay timing of optical signals via adjusting optical power in the feedback optical loop.

    摘要: Known laser diode selections are limited to those designed for high power applications (high gain) or those designed for stable single mode operation in an external cavity (low gain). Exponential gain of laser diodes implemented according to embodiments of the present invention is improved (i.e., optimized) to provide both high output power and stability in an external cavity. This is accomplished by controlling the number of quantum wells, light confinement factor, and the transparency current of the laser diode.
