Tunable Lasers for Investigation of Fiber Optic Devices, 1997 DURIP Program
Abstract
Equipment to support research into novel fiber optic devices has been acquired. Tunable lasers near 1.3 microns and 1.55 microns and a polarization controller to characterize the functionality of Microoptical devices and circuits based on Microresonators were purchased and inserted into a comprehensive guided wave device test system. The 1.3 microns laser was donated by SDL, Inc. And was offered as a cost share to the DURIP funds. A comprehensive suite of RF and optical test equipment to characterize the operation and physics of monolithic modelocked lasers was also acquired. This includes a 40 GHz sweep oscillator, an optical spectrum analyzer, an interferometric spectrum analyzer, an RF amplifiers and preamps. This equipment will accelerate the comprehensive characterization of devices and advance the understanding of their operation.
