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.

The simulation program by the Monte Carlo method of pulse reactions of bistatic atmospheric aerosol-gas channels of optical-electronic communication systems (OECS) is created on the basis of the modified double local estimation algorithm. It is used in a series of numerical experiments in order to evaluate statistically the transfer characteristics of these channels depending on the optical characteristics of an atmosphere plane-parallel model for wavelengths λ = 0.3, 0.5, and 0.9 μm at a meteorological visibility range SM = 10 and 50 km. The results are obtained for a set of basic distances between the light source and the light receiver up to 50 km and for the angular orientations of the optical axes of a laser radiation beam and of the receiving system in a wide range of their values. The dependences of the pulse reactions maximum values over-the-horizon channels of the OECS on the variations of these parameters are established.
