Abstract

The invention provides a continuously tunable narrow linewidth laser which comprises a silicon-based outer cavity (111). The silicon-based outer cavity (111) comprises a substrate layer (101); an optical waveguide layer (104) which is arranged above the substrate layer (101) and forms a self-injection micro-ring resonant cavity to obtain the frequency-adjustable continuous wave laser; and a distributed feedback laser (103) which is coupled with the end surface of the silicon-based outer cavity (111), couples the laser into the micro-ring resonator (110), and outputs the frequency-modulated continuous wave laser through the silicon-based outer cavity (111). According to the narrow linewidth laser, the continuous tunable frequency modulation can be achieved, the application of a frequency modulation light source is met, and the design size and the laser coupling optimization can be achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of frequency modulation lasers, in particular to a narrow line width continuous wave frequency modulation laser based on silicon-based external cavity self-injection. Background technique [0002] Narrow linewidth i.e. low noise, low relative intensity noise (RIN) and wide range CW FM lasers have important applications in many application scenarios, such as coherent optical communication, laser radar (LiDAR) and biosensing. At the same time, the higher output optical power avoids the use of amplifiers, making high-power lasers have a great demand for improving system performance. [0003] Frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) lidar transmits frequency-modulated continuous wave signals and receives echoes reflected by objects, and detects the distance and speed of objects by demodulating the coherent signals between the transmitted waves and the received reflected waves. The maximum detection distance is limited ...
