10 GHz 고조파 모드잠금 고리형 반도체 광섬유 레이저의 외부 CW 광주입 효과를 연구하였다. 선폭 ~ 100 KHz의 코히어런트 외부 광주입에 의해 40 dB가 넘는 스펙트럼 빗살의 골짜기와 30 dB가 넘는 슈퍼모드 비팅 잡음 억제효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 저가의 주입광원을 이용할 수 있는지를 조사하기 위해 주입광을 대략 10 MHz의 선폭을 갖는 DFB 레이저로 교체하였다. 그 결과, 스펙트럼 빗살의 골짜기는 유사한 특성을 보였으나, 슈퍼모드 비팅 잡음은 억제되기보다는 오히려 증가하는 것으로 관측되었다.

We have built a grating-based, high-resolution, spectral line-by-line pulse shaper. By controlling individual spectral lines of a mode-locked laser output, we demonstrate the interesting functionalities of the pulse shaper for arbitrary waveform generation, such as width tunable pulse generation, phase controlled waveform generation, microwave waveform generation, etc.

In a recent years, a number of approaches have been studied, including passive, active, and hybrid mode-locking of semi-conductor lasers for short pulse generation and research has been devoted to achieve low timing-jitter operation since the timing jitter is unfavorable for system applications. Among the methods of mode locking, passive mode locking does not need external rf drives, and therefore the operation and fabrication procedures are simplified. In spite of these attractive advantages of passive mode-locked laser, it has critical drawbacks such as large timing jitter and the difficulty in synchronization with external circuits. Their inherent large timing jitter value was shown to be suppressed to certain levels by means of hybrid mode-locking technique$^{(1)}$ , where the saturable absorber section was modulated by an external signal with the cavity round trip frequency. Furthermore, the subharmonic mode-locking (SHML) technique alleviates the restrictions of high speed driving electronics. It has been demonstrated experimentally$^{(1)}$ that the hybrid subharmonic mode-locking technique has lead to significant reduction of the timing jitter. (omitted)

Graphene-based saturable absorbers (SAs) are widely used as laser mode-lockers at various laser oscillators. In particular, transmission-type graphene-SAs with ultrabroad spectral coverage are typically manufactured on transparent substrates with low nonlinearity to minimize the effects on the oscillators. Here, we developed two types of transmitting graphene SAs based on CaF₂ and ZnSe. Using the graphene-SA based on CaF₂, a passively mode-locked mid-infrared Cr:ZnS laser delivers relatively long 540 fs pulses with a maximum output power of up to 760 mW. In the negative net cavity dispersion regime, the pulse width was not reduced further by inhomogeneous group delay dispersion (GDD) compensation. In the same laser cavity, we replaced only the graphene-SA based on CaF₂ with the SA based on ZnSe. Due to the additional self-phase modulation effect induced by the ZnSe substrate with high nonlinearity, the stably mode-locked Cr:ZnS laser produced Fourier transform-limited ~130 fs near 2,340 nm. In the stable single-pulse operation regime, average output powers up to 635 mW at 234 MHz repetition rates were achieved. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to achieve shorter pulse widths from a polycrystalline Cr:ZnS laser by utilizing the graphene deposited on the substrate with high nonlinearity.

A dual probe laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) that has one laser source and provides two independent object beams has been developed for the first time. An electronic circuit that converts light signal to electronic signal has been also developed using phase locked loop(PLL). It was found that this types of dual probe LDV can be used in differential mode and self-vibration compensation mode.

We report hybrid and passive mode-locking results of tilted-stripe AlGaAs semiconductor laser traveling wave amplifiers with saturable absorbers. Dependence ofthe pulse width on the mode locking frequency, the bandwidth of spectral filters, and the bias current of the laser amplifier are investigated. We generate 4 ps optical pulses by using the hybrid mode locking technique. The repetition rate and the peak power of generated pulses are 516 MHz and 170 mW, respectively. The tuning range of uor mode locked laser is 10 nm with the center wavelength of 780 nm. We also generate 2.6 ps optical pulses with peak power of 830 mW by using the passive mode locking technique.

마하젠더형 광세기 변조기를 이용하여 l0 GHz 고조모드잠금된 분산보상 어븀첨가 광섬유 레이저의 출력 안정화 되먹임 제어를 하고 출력의 안정도를 측정하였다. 레이저의 출력 불안정성이 발생하였을 때 나타나는 완화진동 주파수 성분을 억압하도록 공진기 길이를 조정하여 16시간 이상 출력 안정화를 시켰다. 이때, 안정화가 진행되는 동안 rms 위상잡음과 rms진폭잡음은 각각 260 fsec-524 fsec와 4-11.5%의 사이에 분포하였고, BER은 $10^{-13}$ 으로 측정되었다.
