A Study on the Frequency-Output Power Stabilization of Semicondutor Laser for Heterodyne Optical Communication Systems

헤테로다인 광통신 방식을 위한 반도체 레이저의 주파수-출력 안정화에 관한 연구

In this paper, a new method is suggested to stabilize the frequency of semiconductor laser diode for heterodyne optical communication systems. In order to stabilize the frequency of semiconductor laser, the method of the injection current controal has been widely used, in which the laser frequency is locked to a F-P interferometer. By adding another servoloop to stabilize the output power of semiconductor laser, we could stabilize the laser frequency and the output power simultaneously and the frequency stability is improved by a factor of fice times.

本 論文에서는 半導體 레이저를 使用하여 헤테로다인 光通信 方式을 具現시키기 爲하여 必要한 半導體 레이저의 發振周波數 安定化 시스템을 이제까지의 周波數 安定化만을 考慮한 方式에서 光出力 安定化를 爲한 歸還回路를 追加하므로서 旣存의 周波數 安定化만을 考慮한 方式에서보다 周波數安定度를 約5倍 改善시켰다.
