[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below through specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] As mentioned in the background technology section, the multi-wavelength frequency comb lasers in the prior art mainly screen the working points manually, which has low screening precision and may miss the best working conditions. It also takes a lot of time and is inefficient. To this end, the present invention proposes a more efficient and accurate multi-wavelength frequency comb laser screening scheme. In the scheme of the present invention, through the joint control of multiple optical instruments, the screening method is optimized at the same time, and a data processing module is used to achieve efficient working point screening, providing a solid foundation for the subsequent industrialization and scale-up of multi-wavelength light sources.

[0024] In short, the present invention utilizes a test instrument control method and a data processing algorithm to achieve rapid and accurate screening of the operating point of a wide spectrum frequency comb laser, thereby improving the performance of the laser. In summary, the present invention provides a method for screening a multi-wavelength frequency comb laser working point, which is used to screen the optimal working point of the multi-wavelength frequency comb laser. The method comprises: S1, setting a starting current, a current interval, a termination current, a starting voltage, a voltage interval, and a termination voltage according to the threshold current performance parameters and usage requirements of the multi-wavelength frequency comb laser to be screened; S2, according to the starting current, current interval, termination current, starting voltage, voltage interval, and termination voltage set in step S1, controlling a current source and a voltage source to output current and voltage to the multi-wavelength frequency comb laser to be screened multiple times according to the current interval and the voltage interval, and using a spectrometer to collect output spectrum information of the multi-wavelength frequency comb laser under the current and voltage conditions each time; wherein, the current output by the current source each time is a current within the range of the starting current and the termination current, and the voltage input by the voltage source each time is a voltage within the range of the starting voltage and the termination voltage; S3, using a preset spectrum analysis method to automatically analyze the number of optical frequency combs in each spectrum information through a computer and summarize the number of optical frequency combs of all spectrum information to prepare a working point diagram; S4, selecting the current and voltage corresponding to the point with the largest number of optical frequency combs in the working point diagram as the working point.

[0025] Intuitively speaking, the solution of the present invention mainly includes three stages: spectrum acquisition stage, spectrum analysis stage, and working point selection stage.

[0026] According to one embodiment of the present invention, during the spectrum acquisition phase, the starting current I0 and the ending current I1 are manually input. max and current interval I step , the starting voltage V0 and the ending voltage V max and voltage interval V step And various parameters of spectrum collection. Figure 1 As shown, when starting to collect, follow the following steps: First, control the current source and voltage source to output the starting current I0 and the starting voltage V0 into the multi-wavelength frequency comb laser, that is, control the current I=I0 and the voltage V=V0 of the multi-wavelength frequency comb laser. Then, control the spectrometer to collect the output spectrum information of the laser according to the set collection parameters, store the spectrum information in a unified format (in the embodiment of the present invention, it is stored in the form of a txt text file) into a folder with a preset name, and write the current and voltage conditions of the spectrum into the file name of the txt file, so as to facilitate the search for the setting conditions of the spectrum graph during subsequent data processing. Subsequently, the current output is fixed, and the voltage injected into the laser is increased by a voltage interval V step, use the new input conditions (current remains unchanged, voltage increases by one voltage interval) to collect the spectrum of the output light source under the new working conditions, and also store the spectrum in the same folder. Repeat this process until the voltage reaches the termination voltage. Each time a voltage interval is added, it is necessary to determine whether the voltage V after the voltage interval is increased is less than or equal to the termination voltage V max If yes, collect the spectrum and output the spectrum graph. If no, go directly to the next round. After collecting the spectrum of the termination voltage, increase the current by a current interval I. step , the voltage is adjusted to the starting voltage V0, and the collection of the output spectrum under the input conditions from the starting voltage to the ending voltage is restarted. Each time a current interval is added, it is necessary to determine whether the current after the increased current interval is less than or equal to the ending current I max If yes, continue to collect the spectrum, if not, end directly. Finally, the spectrum information of the output multi-wavelength laser under all current and voltage input conditions can be obtained, and each condition has a txt file storing the working conditions and output result information.

[0027] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the starting current is set to 40mA, the ending current is set to 500mA, and the current interval can be set to be coarse (10mA) or fine (5mA) or other values ​​within 5-10mA according to the accuracy requirements. The starting voltage is set to 0V, the ending voltage is set to 5V, and the voltage interval can be set to be coarse (500mV) or fine (200mV) or other values ​​within 200-500mV according to the accuracy requirements. These data can be further adjusted according to the laser threshold current performance parameters and usage requirements.

[0028] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in the spectrum analysis stage, each spectrum file is processed by using an automatic data processing method, including: obtaining the maximum power peak in each spectrum information; obtaining all peaks except the maximum power peak in each spectrum information, and screening out the peaks with power within 3dB below the maximum power as valid peaks and recording the number of valid peaks (recorded as m); recording the interval between each two valid peaks and recording the number of peak interval errors therein, and judging whether the number of peak interval errors in each spectrum is within the interval error number threshold range, the number of optical frequency combs of the spectrum whose peak interval error number (recorded as n) is less than or equal to the interval error number threshold is recorded as the number of valid peaks corresponding to it, and the number of optical frequency combs of other spectra is recorded as 0, wherein the peak interval error refers to the peak interval whose distance between two peaks does not meet the stability requirements. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the peak interval with an interval greater than 0.7nm or less than 0.5nm is determined as an invalid peak interval, and the intervals within the range of 0.5nm-0.7nm are all valid peak intervals. If the number of peak interval errors corresponding to a spectrum is too large, the spectrum has poor stability, and there are few available optical frequency combs, that is, few available channels. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the interval error number threshold is set to 3. In practice, the interval error number threshold can be set according to the channel stability requirement. The fewer the interval errors, the more available channels. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, taking the interval error number threshold of 3 as an example, it shows an automatic screening process of available channels in a spectrum. First, the effective peak number m and the peak interval error number n of the spectrum are input, and it is determined whether the peak interval error number n is less than or equal to 3. If so, the optical frequency comb number M of the spectrum is its effective peak number M=m, otherwise, the optical frequency comb number M=0, and then the optical frequency comb number M of the spectrum is output. The above process is completed by the automatic screening of the pre-set computer module according to the stored spectrum information.

[0029] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the number of optical frequency combs of all spectral information and their corresponding voltage and current conditions are plotted into a grid diagram, and the number of optical frequency combs from small to large is represented by colors from light to dark, so as to draw an operating point diagram of a multi-wavelength frequency comb laser. For example, an operating point diagram is drawn with the horizontal axis representing voltage, the vertical axis representing current, and the color depth representing the number of optical frequency combs (the darker the color, the more optical frequency combs there are). The starting current is set to 40mA, the ending current is set to 200mA, and the current interval is 10mA. The starting voltage is set to 0V, the ending voltage is set to 5V, and the voltage interval is 200mV. After obtaining the number of optical frequency combs for each spectral information, the data is summarized, and the result of drawing the operating point diagram is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it can be seen that the best multi-wavelength laser can be obtained by operating the multi-wavelength frequency comb laser under the conditions of 170mA and 3.4V, so this point can be selected as the operating point of the multi-wavelength frequency comb laser.

[0030] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the present invention also provides a multi-wavelength frequency comb laser operating point screening system capable of implementing the method of the present invention, which is used to screen the optimal operating point of the multi-wavelength frequency comb laser, and the system includes: a current source, which is configured to output current to the multi-wavelength frequency comb laser to be screened according to a preset starting current, current interval, and termination current; a voltage source, which is configured to output voltage to the multi-wavelength frequency comb laser to be screened according to a preset starting voltage, voltage interval, and termination voltage; a spectrometer, which is used to collect output spectrum information of the multi-wavelength frequency comb laser under different current and voltage conditions; a spectrum information storage module, which is used to store the spectrum information collected by the spectrometer in a unified file format; a spectrum information analysis module, which is used to analyze the number of optical frequency combs in each spectrum information stored in the spectrum information storage module and summarize the number of optical frequency combs of all spectrum information to make an operating point diagram, and select the current and voltage corresponding to the point with the largest number of optical frequency combs in the operating point diagram as the operating point. Among them, the spectrum information storage module and the spectrum information analysis module are set on a computer. Since the injection current and reverse bias voltage will affect the spectrum of the output multi-wavelength light source of the multi-wavelength frequency comb laser, the screening of the optimal working conditions needs to consider these two conditions. The current source, voltage source and spectrometer were connected to the computer using a general purpose interface bus (GPIB line), and the three instruments were jointly controlled using LabVIEW.

[0031] Through the scheme of the present invention, the optimal working conditions of the multi-wavelength frequency comb laser can be quickly and accurately screened by directly using the commonly used laboratory equipment, and a frequency comb light source with low power consumption and high output power can be obtained, thereby improving the performance of the laser, including: 1. Improving efficiency, by optimizing the working point search method, efficiently screening the working performance of the laser under various working conditions; 2. Enhancing accuracy, reducing the fluctuation of working performance caused by the instability of the working point, and improving the accuracy of the test results; 3. Simplifying the adjustment process, the method of the present invention uses a large number of computer programs, reduces the technical requirements for operators, and makes the working point screening simpler and more direct, thereby speeding up the test speed. In addition, the scheme of the present invention uses the test instruments commonly used in optical testing laboratories, and tests through computer control, which can save labor costs, material costs, reduce production costs, and improve production efficiency. The operation of each instrument is controlled by a computer, and the spectrum data obtained is automatically processed using the optimized algorithm. Therefore, this method has the advantages of fast screening speed and high accuracy. The scheme of the present invention is not only suitable for the working point screening of multi-wavelength frequency comb lasers, but also applicable to multi-wavelength lasers that can use current and voltage to adjust the output laser.
