Abstract
We demonstrate a thermally stable, high-power InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) four-channel distributed feedback (DFB) laser array featuring an ultra-narrow linewidth and low noise. Each channel of the array delivers a continuous-wave output power exceeding 34 mW and 17 mW at $25~^{\circ }$ C and $85~^{\circ }$ C, respectively, with side-mode suppression ratios >45 dB. Furthermore, the device exhibits an ultra-narrow linewidth as low as 1.60 kHz and low relative intensity noise (RIN), with peak RIN values below −165 dB/Hz at $50~^{\circ }$ C. These results demonstrate the potential of QD DFB laser arrays for energy-efficient and cost-effective wavelength-division multiplexing data transmission systems in uncooled operation scenarios.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Photonics Technology Letters addresses all aspects of the IEEE Photonics Society Constitutional Field of Interest with emphasis on photonic/lightwave components and applications, laser physics and systems and laser/electro-optics technology. Examples of subject areas for the above areas of concentration are integrated optic and optoelectronic devices, high-power laser arrays (e.g. diode, CO2), free electron lasers, solid, state lasers, laser materials'' interactions and femtosecond laser techniques. The letters journal publishes engineering, applied physics and physics oriented papers. Emphasis is on rapid publication of timely manuscripts. A goal is to provide a focal point of quality engineering-oriented papers in the electro-optics field not found in other rapid-publication journals.
