    Abstract: An external-cavity tunable laser with a flexible wavelength grid tuning function comprises a resonant cavity, collimating lenses, an optical isolator, and an output optical fiber. The resonant cavity comprises a semiconductor gain chip, a beam expander collimating lens, a combined liquid crystal tunable filter assembly, and a reflecting mirror. A current injected to the semiconductor gain chip is converted to broadband spontaneously radiating photons through electrical-to-optical conversion, and the photons are spread along a waveguide toward two sides. A part of photons with special frequencies go back and forth multiple times in the resonant cavity to form a laser after a threshold condition is met. The laser is collimated by the collimating lens, passes through the optical isolator, is coupled by the collimating lens, and enters the output optical fiber.

    Abstract: A Raman pump laser control apparatus comprises a wavelength division multiplexer, a tap coupler, a photoelectric detector, an analogue amplification processing circuit, an analogue-to-digital converter, a fast Raman pump control unit, an digital-analog converter, and a Raman pump laser. The fast Raman pump control unit, after having known anticipated output light power of the Raman pump laser, based on a direct relationship between a current anticipated output light power of the Raman pump laser and input digital quantity that is needed by the digital-analog converter, uses a feedforward control mechanism so that actual output light power of the Raman pump laser fastly approximates the anticipated output light power thereof, and then synchronously combines with a feedback control mechanism so that the actual output light power of the Raman pump laser is precisely locked on the anticipated output light power, thereby achieving fast and precise control of the Raman pump laser.

    Abstract: A debugging method and device for an operating point voltage of a parallel MZI electro-optical modulator. The parallel MZI electro-optical modulator comprises a Parent MZI (2) formed by a parallel connection of a Child MZI (3) in an I path and a Child MZI (4) in a Q path. The debugging method comprises: fixing a bias voltage of one Child MZI of the Child MZI (3) in the I path and the Child MZI (4) in the Q path; gradually adjusting a bias voltage of the other Child MZI, testing a parent extinction ratio Per of the Parent MZI (2) when different bias voltages are applied, and finding a corresponding bias voltage as an operating point voltage of the other Child MZI when the Per of the Parent MZI (2) reaches a minimum value, and then finding a corresponding bias voltage as an operating point voltage of the one Child MZI when the Per of the Parent MZI (2) reaches a minimum value; setting the bias voltages of the two Child MZIs as operating point voltages corresponding to the two Child MZIs respectively, adjusting a phase modulation voltage of the Parent MZI (2) until an output effect of the parallel MZI electro-optical modulator reaches the best, and determining the phase modulation voltage of the Parent MZI (2). The method and device are simple; and the debugging process thereof is fast and efficient.

    Abstract: A wavelength-tunable external cavity laser comprises a semiconductor optical amplifier chip and a laser external cavity, the laser external cavity comprising a grid filter, a phase adjustor and a silicon-based micro-ring chip, the grid filter and the silicon-based micro-ring chip constituting a wavelength-tunable optical filter which implements wavelength tuning by spectral tuning of the grid filter and/or the silicon-based micro-ring chip. A micro-ring filter in the silicon-based micro-ring chip of the tunable external-cavity laser is manufactured by adopting a mature silicon light technology, which can greatly reduce a manufacturing difficulty of the adjustable filter, and reduce the manufacturing cost of a device. An existing external-cavity adjustable technology platform may be used for smooth transition, so as to improve the degree of integration of this type of device and simplify a preparation process.
