This paper reports a 3-dimensional (3D) micro-optical coupling system for improving coupling efficiency in the Littrow configured micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) tunable lasers. In the coupling system, an optical fiber acts as a rod lens for light convergence in the vertical plane, while a deep-etched silicon parabolic mirror confines the light in the horizontal plane. Compared with previous...
This paper reports a miniature MEMS tunable dual-wavelength laser by integrating a gain chip, a beam splitter, and a pair of Bragg reflectors which has different periods. In the experiment, simultaneous two wavelengths emissions are observed with a thermo-optic tuning range of 1574.7 nm to 1578.6 nm and 1576.1 nm to 1582.6 nm, respectively.
This paper reports an integrated injection-locked laser constructed using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology, which achieves a large wide locking range of 43 nm with an average SMSR of 32 dB.
This paper presents a digital mirror for tunable laser wavelength selection using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. The digital mirror which has discrete reflection spectrum is totally different compared to the current broadband mirrors MEMS tunable lasers . The reflection of the digital mirror can be tuned by digital pumping signals which promise fast output wavelength switching....
The paper presents the dynamic characteristics of a MEMS-based tunable coupled-cavity laser, constructed by integrating a Fabry-Perot chip, a gain chip and a deep-etched parabolic mirror. It gains advantages over the previous tunable lasers in the form of high speed of wavelength tuning, since this wavelength tuning is based on free carrier plasma effect to change the refractive index. The currently...
This letter presents a design of a microelectromechanical systems variable optical attenuator (VOA) that employs a pair of parabolic mirrors as the retro-reflector, which has obtained a linear relationship over a 62-dB range between the attenuation (in decibels) and the mirror rotation angle (in degrees). The insertion loss measures 0.6 dB thanks to the three-dimentional optical coupling design. The...
