Abstract:

Long-External Cavity Laser (L-ECL) is a kind of new and promising type laser because of its dynamic single mode performance. In this paper, firstly, the theory model of L-ECL is discussed; Secondly, the influence of coupling coefficient on the threshold gain of L-ECL is studied based on equivalent external cavity theory; Thirdly, utilizing the theory of equivalent cavity length, combined rate equations, the high frequency response characteristic of L-ECL is analyzed; Lastly, optical spectrums of L-ECL on different grating peak reflectivity are obtained by experiment.
