Energy bands in semiconductor conduction band & valence band 原子是由原子核和绕原子核旋转的电子组成。最里层的电子距原子核最近，受原子核束缚最强，能量最低（包括电子的动能和势能）。越外层的电子受原子束缚越弱，能量越高； 电子只能处于特定的能级之上； 能级图用一系列高低不同的水平横线来表示电子所能取的确定能量； 原子中的电子通过和外界交换能量的方式发生能级的跃迁——热跃迁和光跃迁。 2018/11/15 OE, HUST

Sampled Grating DBR Laser The Sampled Grating (SG) DBR laser uses the Vernier effect between two mirrors with comb-shaped reflectivity spectrum. Just like the Vernier calliper the effect uses the fact that if the two comb-shaped spectra have a different period, a small relative displacement between the two gives a large shift in the frequency where they overlap. A simultaneous tuning of both gratings tunes over different cavity modes just like in the DBR laser. Finally a phase section makes the tuning quasi continuous. The SG DBR laser can achieve high side mode suppression ratio and a large tuning range. Due to the mirrors after the gain section it is easily integrated with for example SOAs and electro absorber modulators. Because of free carrier absorption in the DBRs the power variation can be substantial when tuning. Without an additional SOA the output power is low.

Ib & Im LD偏置电流的选择合适与否直接影响激光器的高速调制输出特性。 加大直流偏置，使其接近阈值，可以减小电光延迟时间，也可使张驰振荡得到一定程度的抑制。 当激光器偏置在阈值附近时，较小的调制电流就能得到足够高的输出光脉冲，调制效率较高。而且由于偏置电流与最大电流相差不大，可以大大减小码型效应和结发热效应的不良影响。 过大的偏置电流会使消光比恶化，影响接收机灵敏度。 激光器恰好偏置在阈值时，散粒噪声会增强，直接影响信号的信噪比。 2018/11/15 OE, HUST
