Abstract

The invention provides a semiconductor laser and a control method. The laser and the method are used for solving the problems that the length of a tunable multi-wavelength laser is too long and quality is unreliable. The semiconductor laser comprises optical grating regions and phase shifting structures; the optical grating regions are fabricated on the same laser chip in series; an optical grating period is constant in each of the optical grating regions, and the optical grating periods of different optical grating regions are progressively increased or progressively decreased along the laserchip; any two adjacent optical grating regions are injected with current to generate single mode laser emission; the phase shifting structures are located between adjacent optical grating regions, and phase shifting values are in the range of 0-360 degrees, generally pi. The invention further comprises the semiconductor laser control method, the method comprises the steps of injecting operating current higher than a threshold into any two adjacent optical grating regions, the operating current of the remaining optical grating regions is transparent current, and the single mode laser emissionis generated; the temperature and the operating current of the optical grating regions are changed, and the single mode laser emission is tuned.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of optoelectronic technology, in particular to a multi-wavelength semiconductor laser and a control method. Background technique [0002] Optical communication is the foundation of contemporary communication. With the continuous increase of broadband demand, the network structure becomes more and more complex. In order to reduce the network cost and simplify the structure, a large number of low-cost wavelength continuously tunable lasers need to be used in various optical fiber systems such as access networks based on wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems and software-defined networks. Tunable lasers can be used as specific wavelength lasers or backup lasers, and are an important part of WDM systems. Can greatly reduce the complexity and operating costs of the WDM system. At present, the structures of tunable lasers mainly include the following types, but each has its own advantages and disadvant...
