Wavelength drift suppression of a semiconductor laser with filtered optical feedback from a fiber-optic loop using active phase-delay control
Abstract
We present a method to suppress the wavelength drift of a semiconductor laser with filtered optical feedback from a long fiber-optic loop. The laser wavelength is stabilized to the filter peak through actively controlling the phase delay of the feedback light. Steady-state analysis of the laser wavelength is performed to illustrate the method. Experimentally, the wavelength drift was reduced by 75% compared to the case without phase delay control. The active phase delay control had negligible effect on the line narrowing performance of the filtered optical feedback to the limit of the measurement resolution.
