Abstract

The laser frequency and strength modulator can modulate the laser frequency and the laser strength independently and the modulated light source is one three electrode-dispersing reflecting Bragg semiconductor laser. During laser frequency modulation, the current fed to the modulated semiconductor laser is controlled via the polarized beam splitter, beam splitter and photoelectronic converter to maintain the laser strength unchanged. During the laser strength modulation, the frequncy of the output laser beam is locked in some frequency by using the three electrode-dispersing reflecting Bragg semiconductor laser while turning off the photoelectronic converter connected to the drive current controller and controlling the output current strength of the drive current controller. The present invention expands the use range of modulator.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The present invention is an optical frequency and optical intensity modulator of a semiconductor laser (hereinafter referred to as LD), in particular relates to the optical frequency modulation of a light source used in a high-precision semiconductor laser heterodyne interferometer and used in a high-speed optical communication system Signal intensity modulation. Background technique: [0002] Semiconductor lasers (hereinafter referred to as LDs) are widely used due to their small size, low power consumption, low price, and easy wavelength modulation. In semiconductor laser heterodyne interferometry, direct injection current modulation is used (see prior art [1] Osami Sasaki, Kazuhide Takahashi, and TakamasaSuzuki, "Sinusoidal phase modulating laser diode interferometer with a feedback control system to eliminate extemal disturbance," Opt. Eng., 1990, 29(12), 1511-1515) or using light injection into LD (see prior art [2] X.F.Wang, X.Wang, F.Qian, G.C...
