Influences of Thermal Effect on the Performance of FMCW Signal Generated by Current-Modulated DFB-LDs
A cost-effective linear chirp source is urgently needed in various commercial scenarios. Based on typical coupled mode theory (CMT) and a highly effective split-step time-domain model (SS-TDM) method, the influence of thermal effect on the performance of frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) signal generated by current-modulated distributed feedback laser diodes (CM-DFB-LDs) is numerically simulated. The results show that the thermal effect in DFB-LDs has a significant impact on the nonlinearity of the FMCW signal, and the increasing thermal effect leads to an enhancement in the nonlinearity of the FMCW signal. For a given thermal diffusion coefficient
$D=2.0 \; \times 10^{-5}$
m2/s, with the increase of the thickness H between the active region and the substrate from
$1.5 \; \mu $
m to
$6 \; \mu $
m, both the bandwidth and the nonlinearity increase gradually at first and then tend towards saturation. For H fixed at
$4.5 \; \mu $
m, with the increase of D from
$1.5 \; \times 10^{-5}$
m2/s to
$6 \; \times 10^{-5}$
m2/s, both the bandwidth and the nonlinearity show a downward trend. For
$D = 6.0 \; \times 10.5$
m2/s and
$H = 4.5 \; \mu $
m, a high-quality FMCW signal with a nonlinearity of
$3.852 \; \times 10^{-5}$
and an root mean square (RMS) of 19.3 MHz under a bandwidth of 19.1 GHz can be obtained. Taking such FMCW signal as a transmitted signal, a 2 m distance ranging has been demonstrated, and the relative error is 0.340%.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics is dedicated to the publication of manuscripts reporting novel experimental or theoretical results in the broad field of the science and technology of quantum electronics. The Journal comprises original contributions, both regular papers and letters, describing significant advances in the understanding of quantum electronics phenomena or the demonstration of new devices, systems, or applications. Manuscripts reporting new developments in systems and applications must emphasize quantum electronics principles or devices. The scope of JQE encompasses the generation, propagation, detection, and application of coherent electromagnetic radiation having wavelengths below one millimeter (i.e., in the submillimeter, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, etc., regions). Whether the focus of a manuscript is a quantum-electronic device or phenomenon, the critical factor in the editorial review of a manuscript is the potential impact of the results presented on continuing research in the field or on advancing the technological base of quantum electronics.
