Polarization extinction ratio and polarization degree are both physical quantities that describe the polarization state of light, but their meanings and application scenarios are different.
Single-mode fiber-coupled laser diode Package type: There are two commonly used packages for this type of semiconductor laser tube, a "butterfly" package, which integrates a TEC temperature-controlled cooler and a thermistor. Single-mode fiber-coupled semiconductor laser tubes can usually reach an output power of several hundred mW to 1.5 W. One type is a "coaxial" package, which is commonly used in laser tubes that do not require TEC temperature control. Coaxial packages also have TEC.
Semiconductor laser diode, which can directly convert electrical energy into light energy, has the characteristics of high brightness, high efficiency, long life, small size, and direct modulation.
Since the advent of the first solid-state pulsed ruby laser, the development of lasers has been very rapid, and lasers with various working materials and operating modes have continued to appear. Lasers are classified in various ways:
Narrow linewidth lasers are widely used as light sources and receivers in fiber optic communication systems. In terms of light sources, narrow linewidth lasers can provide high-quality and highly stable optical signals, which can reduce signal distortion and bit error rates. In terms of receivers, narrow linewidth lasers can provide high sensitivity and high-precision light detection, which can enhance the signal detection capabilities of the receiver. In addition, narrow linewidth lasers can be used for functions such as optical filtering and frequency conversion.
Single-frequency fiber lasers have a very narrow limit linewidth, and their spectral line shape is Lorentz type, which is significantly different from single-frequency semiconductors. The reason is that single-frequency fiber lasers have longer laser resonant cavities and longer photon lifetimes in the cavity. This means that single-frequency fiber lasers have lower phase noise and frequency noise than single-frequency semiconductor lasers.
