Semiconductor laser has the advantages of small size, light weight, high electro-optical conversion efficiency, high reliability and long life. It has important applications in the fields of industrial processing, biomedicine and national defense.
Ultra-long distance non-relay optical transmission has always been a research hotspot in the field of optical fiber communication. The exploration of new optical amplification technology is a key scientific issue to further extend the distance of non-relay optical transmission.
Compared with discrete optical fiber amplification technology, Distributed Raman Amplification (DRA) technology has shown obvious advantages in many aspects such as noise figure, nonlinear damage, gain bandwidth, etc., and has gained advantages in the field of optical fiber communication and sensing. widely used. High-order DRA can make the gain deep into the link to achieve quasi-lossless optical transmission (that is, the best balance of optical signal-to-noise ratio and nonlinear damage), and significantly improve the overall balance of optical fiber transmission/sensing. Compared with conventional high-end DRA, DRA based on ultra-long fiber laser simplifies the system structure, and has the advantage of gain clamp production, showing strong application potential. However, this amplification method still faces bottlenecks that restrict its application to long-distance optical fiber transmission/sensing
The full name of VCESL is a vertical cavity surface emitting laser, which is a semiconductor laser structure in which an optical resonant cavity is formed in the direction perpendicular to the semiconductor epitaxial wafer and the laser beam emitted is perpendicular to the surface of the substrate. Compared with LEDs and edge-emitting lasers EEL, VCSELs are superior in terms of accuracy, miniaturization, low power consumption, and reliability.
Optical fiber is the abbreviation of optical fiber, and its structure is shown in the figure: the inner layer is the core, which has a high refractive index, and is used to transmit light; the middle layer is the cladding, and the refractive index is low, forming a total reflection condition with the core; the outermost The layer is a protective layer to protect the optical fiber.
As an important part of optical fiber communication system, optical module plays the role of photoelectric conversion. This article will introduce the core devices of the optical module.
