With the rapid development of advanced optoelectronic technologies such as lidar, coherent optical communication, fiber optic sensing, quantum communication, and silicon photonics chips, the performance requirements for narrow-linewidth lasers are increasingly stringent.

[0021] Example 1: This embodiment provides an automated testing system for narrow linewidth lasers, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a noise linewidth analyzer, a relative intensity noise analyzer, an optical switch module, an adjustable optical attenuator, an optical power meter, and a processor. The processor is connected to the noise linewidth analyzer, the relative intensity noise analyzer, the optical switch module, the adjustable optical attenuator, and the optical power meter. The optical switch module is connected to the adjustable optical attenuator and the optical power meter. The adjustable optical attenuator is connected to the noise linewidth analyzer, the relative intensity noise analyzer, and the optical power meter. The optical switch module is used to connect to the narrow linewidth laser under test and guide the laser output from the narrow linewidth laser under test to an optical power meter or an adjustable optical attenuator. An adjustable optical attenuator is used to attenuate the introduced laser light, outputting a first attenuated laser light to a noise linewidth analyzer and an output of a second attenuated laser light to a relative intensity noise analyzer. The noise linewidth analyzer is used to receive the first attenuated laser and use the first attenuated laser to perform frequency noise testing, obtain noise linewidth test data, and feed the noise linewidth test data back to the processor. The relative intensity noise analyzer is used to receive the second attenuated laser and use the second attenuated laser to perform relative intensity noise testing, obtain relative intensity noise test data, and feed the relative intensity noise test data back to the processor. An optical power meter is used to measure the optical power of the introduced laser to obtain the original output optical power, measure the optical power of the first attenuated laser output by the adjustable optical attenuator to obtain the first attenuated optical power, measure the optical power of the second attenuated laser output by the adjustable optical attenuator to obtain the second attenuated optical power, and feed back the original output optical power, the first attenuated optical power and the second attenuated optical power to the processor. The processor is used to send switching control signals to the optical switch module, causing the optical switch module to guide the laser output from the narrow-linewidth laser under test to the optical power meter according to the switching control signals; it is used to control the working status of the noise linewidth analyzer, the relative intensity noise analyzer, and the optical power meter; it is used to perform adaptive power allocation based on the original output optical power, generate an attenuation control signal, and send the attenuation control signal to the adjustable optical attenuator, so that the adjustable optical attenuator performs optical attenuation processing on the introduced laser according to the attenuation control signal; and it is used to summarize the noise linewidth test data, the relative intensity noise test data, the original output optical power, the first attenuated optical power, and the second attenuated optical power to generate a comprehensive test report of the narrow-linewidth laser under test.
[0022] In specific implementation, the noise linewidth analyzer used is the GP-LWM-100 model. The GP-LWM-100 integrates photoelectric conversion, signal processing, and calculation units, providing measurement functions for parameters such as frequency noise power spectral density (PSD), intrinsic linewidth (≤1Hz), and integrated linewidth (≤0.1kHz), and supports USB 3.0 / Ethernet remote control. The noise linewidth test data includes frequency noise power spectral density, intrinsic linewidth, and integrated linewidth. Frequency noise power spectral density (PSD) characterizes the frequency domain characteristics of the instantaneous frequency fluctuations of the laser. The intrinsic linewidth is the Lorentz linewidth component determined by white frequency noise. The integrated linewidth can be obtained by integrating the entire frequency noise power spectral density curve, reflecting the actual bus width. Linewidth is one of the most critical parameters for evaluating the frequency stability and coherence characteristics of narrow-linewidth lasers. A narrower linewidth means better monochromaticity and lower phase noise in the laser output light, which is essential for applications such as high-speed coherent optical communication systems (affecting signal demodulation quality), high-precision fiber optic sensing (determining measurement accuracy and distance), and quantum information processing. By measuring the linewidth, we can assess whether the laser meets the performance requirements of specific application scenarios and provide direct evidence for further optimization of laser design (such as cavity structure and feedback control).
[0023] The relative intensity noise analyzer used is the GP-RT100 model. The GP-RT100 provides relative intensity noise (RIN) spectrum measurement with a maximum bandwidth of 50 GHz, a sensitivity of -160 dBc / Hz, and supports remote control via USB 3.0 / Ethernet. The relative intensity noise test data includes the relative intensity noise spectrum and the relative intensity noise at specific frequency points. The unit of the relative intensity noise (RIN) spectrum is dBc / Hz, characterizing the frequency domain characteristics of the fluctuation intensity of the laser's output optical power relative to the average power; the relative intensity noise at specific frequency points includes RIN values at relaxation oscillation peaks and specified offset frequencies.
[0024] The optical switch module can use low polarization dependent loss (PDL) and high stability fiber optic devices (such as FC / APC interfaces) to ensure measurement consistency. The adjustable optical attenuator can automatically adjust the optical power entering each analyzer to keep it within the optimal input range (e.g., GP-LWM-100: -8~0dBm; GP-RT100: 0~+10dBm).
[0025] When the processor performs adaptive power allocation based on the original output optical power, it can calculate a first optical attenuation based on the original output optical power and a set first optical power target value, calculate a second optical attenuation based on the original output optical power and a set second optical power target value, and generate an attenuation control signal based on the first and second optical attenuation values. Specifically, the original output optical power of the narrow-linewidth laser under test is P. orig The optimal input power range of the GP-LWM-100 is -8dBm to 0dBm, corresponding to the first optical power target value P. target,LWM =-4dBm (median value), the optimal input power range of GP-RT100 is 0dBm~10dBm, corresponding to the second optical power target value P target,RT =+5dBm (median value). The processor utilizes the raw output optical power P orig Subtract the first optical power target value P target,LWM The first optical attenuation is obtained, and the original output optical power P is used. orig Subtract the second optical power target value P target,RT The second optical attenuation value is obtained. When the processor determines that the first optical power difference and / or the second optical power difference does not exceed a set tolerance value, it generates an attenuation control signal based on the first and second optical attenuation values. When the processor determines that the first optical power difference and / or the second optical power difference exceeds the set tolerance value, it generates an attenuation adjustment signal based on the first and / or second optical power difference and sends the attenuation adjustment signal to the adjustable optical attenuator. This allows the adjustable optical attenuator to adjust the optical attenuation of the introduced laser light according to the attenuation adjustment signal, forming a closed-loop control to ensure that the power is in an optimal state.
[0026] The system may also include an environmental detection sensor group (including a temperature sensor), which is used to collect test environment data (including test environment temperature) and send the test environment data to a processor, which is used to summarize the test environment data into a comprehensive test report of the narrow linewidth laser under test.
[0027] The processor can also perform noise correlation analysis using frequency noise power spectral density (PSD) and RIN spectrum when generating comprehensive test reports. This involves displaying the PSD and RIN noise curves side-by-side on the same frequency coordinate system to aid in analyzing the coupling mechanism of the two types of noise and related peaks (such as relaxation oscillation peaks). The system can also establish a database to store relevant test data and comprehensive test reports, supporting historical data comparison and statistical analysis.
[0028] This system completely eliminates the tedious process of manually switching optical fibers and operating instruments, enabling automated and efficient testing of multiple performance parameters of narrow-linewidth lasers. Furthermore, through automated power management and optical path switching, it eliminates connection uncertainties and power setting errors introduced by human operation, ensuring the consistency and accuracy of test results. It is suitable for performance evaluation of narrow-linewidth lasers in scenarios such as high-speed optical communication and coherent detection.

S4. Obtain the first attenuated optical power and the second attenuated optical power fed back by the optical power meter.
