The application belongs to the technical field of
tunable laser, and particularly relates to a frequency-sweeping
laser light source based on double SOA and double mirrors and a cooperative working method. The application comprises a first
semiconductor optical amplifier, a second
semiconductor optical amplifier, a first mirror, a second mirror and a
coupling /
diffraction element, the first
semiconductor optical amplifier and the second semiconductor optical
amplifier are arranged on the two sides of the
coupling /
diffraction element, and the first mirror and the second mirror are arranged above the
coupling /
diffraction element; characterized in that the first semiconductor optical
amplifier, the coupling / diffraction element and the first mirror constitute an outer cavity 1, and the second semiconductor optical
amplifier, the coupling / diffraction element and the second mirror constitute an outer cavity 2. Through the mode of "non-overlapping area time-sharing work and overlapping area
cooperative work", combined with double SOA mutual excitation and double outer cavity
frequency selection, the application breaks through the
gain bandwidth limitation of single SOA, ensures the frequency-sweeping without
breakpoint and power stability, and realizes the wide-range, high-power and flatness frequency-sweeping
laser output.
