The influence of the front facet reflectivity on the spectral linewidth of high power DFB (distributed feedback) diode lasers emitting at 780 nm has been investigated theoretically and experimentally. Characterization of lasers at various front facet reflections showed substantial reduction of the linewidth. This behavior is in reasonable agreement with simulation results. A minimum linewidth of 8 kHz was achieved at an output power of 85 mW with the laser featuring a front facet reflectivity of 30%. The device with a front facet reflectivity of 5% reached the same linewidth value at an output power of 290 mW.

Abstract A convenient, simple method is proposed to measure the front facet temperature, which is the highest temperature in the semiconductor laser diode (LD), of a GaAs-based laser by employing thermoreflectance technique. Using an optical system featured in fiber connection, we measured the facet reflectivity of the 808-nm AlGaInAs/AlGaAs LD, which gives information about the temperature of the output facet. The fiber system operates at the wavelength of 1550 nm which avoids the absorption of the probe beam by the tested LD and consists of a fiber-coupled 1550 nm laser illuminant and photodiode. All optical elements in the system are connected by the fibers. The current signal collected from the photodiode is related to the facet reflectivity and represents facet temperature. We compared the facet temperatures determined by thermoreflectance technique with the cavity temperature obtained by forward-voltage method and found that the former is as much as three times as the latter.

Ultrasonic guided wave has been widely used for the pipe inspection. The conventional method is to use piezoelectric transducers that should be contacted to the target surface. However, in order to automatically inspect pipes in the manufacturing stage, non-contact inspections are strongly required. In this paper, we propose a new non-contact method for the automation of pipe inspection, which generates the ultrasonic guided wave by laser and receives by air-coupled transducer. Also we have developed a rotational canning system to show the inspection result as a 2-D image, which makes the operator find out defects easily. Then, in practical applications of guided wave techniques, it is preferred to generate and detect a single or less dispersive mode. So this paper considers the enhancement of mode-selectivity, where a laser beam illuminated through arrayed line slits is used as the transmitter and the air-coupled transducer is used as the receiver. The line arrayed laser illumination is a wavelength matching technique that can generate only a few modes. The air-coupled transducer detects the leaky wave of the propagated guided wave, and by tuning its detection angle we can detect the selected single mode. This method can generate and receive the guided wave of a specific mode, which makes the interpretation of received signal clearer and resultantly improves the accuracy of inspection. The proposed method was applied to the stainless pipe specimen with artificial defects and its inspection performance was verified. The experimental results showed that the fundamental axial-longitudinal mode was dominantly generated and received, and the location and the size of pipe defects could be displayed well in the 2 dimensional scanning images in real time.
