This invention relates to opto-electronic systems using semiconductor lasers driven by optical phase-locked loops that control the laser's optical phase and frequency. Feedback control provides a means for precise, wideband control of optical frequency and phase, augmented further by four wave mixing stages and digitally stitched independent optical waveforms for enhanced tunability.

A closed-track optical delay module, a terahertz system, and a photoelectric system are provided. The closed-track optical delay module comprises a first constraint component with a closed-track line structure, a second constraint component with a straight line groove, a third constraint component with a positioning convex, a light conversion device, a housing, and a driving control device. The positioning convex forms a constraint fit relationship with the closed curve groove and straight line groove. One of the first, second, and third constraint components is connected with the driving control device, the other is fixedly disposed, a next one is connected with the light conversion device and moves parallel to the straight line groove. A light input interface is used for an incident light to be irradiated onto the light conversion device. A light output interface is used for a delayed beam to be emitted from the housing.

Abstract:
An optical buffer device includes plural optical memory elements that are capable of holding light and an optical delay element. The plural optical memory elements are arranged on an optical path through which signal light and control light propagate in mutually opposite directions. Further, the optical delay element is disposed between the optical memory elements that are adjacent to each other. The optical delay element imparts different delays to the signal light and the control light. According to a preferred exemplary embodiment of this optical buffer device, each of the optical memory elements includes an optical waveguide through which the signal light and the control light propagate and an optical resonator that is disposed in proximity to this optical waveguide, and a coupling between the optical waveguide and the optical resonator is generated or cancelled depending on whether or not the control light is inputted.
