    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 narrow linewidth external cavity semiconductor laser comprises semiconductor optical amplifier chip, comb-shaped optical filter, bandpass optical filter, partial reflection sheet, and collimated light beam coupling output assembly Collimated light beam coupling output assembly is composed of isolator, coupling lens, and output optical fiber. Laser resonant cavity is formed by partial reflection sheet and rear end face of semiconductor optical amplifier chip. Comb-shaped optical filter and bandpass optical filter form single-channel narrowband optical filtering assembly. Bandwidth enables laser to perform single-mode lasing and effectively restrain any other mode lasing. Longitudinal mode's relative position over whole filtering band may be controlled by adjusting laser temperature. Output wavelength and laser power are controlled and in best working state. Etalon is used as comb-shaped optical filter to easily realize narrow linewidth output. Commercial DWDM optical filter is used as bandpass optical filter to improve device wavelength flexibility and reduce costs.

    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.
