We developed a spectral narrowing technique for laser diode arrays using optical feedback. This method effectively reduces spectral width, improving laser performance and enabling precise frequency control.

Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Laser Technology

Background:

  • Laser diode arrays (LDAs) are crucial for high-power laser applications.
  • Achieving narrow spectral output from LDAs is challenging due to factors like smile effect.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel spectral narrowing scheme for LDAs.
  • To investigate and mitigate the impact of LDA smile on spectral narrowing.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical modeling and numerical simulations of spectral narrowing.
  • Implementation of an optical feedback system utilizing a diffraction grating.
  • Compensation for LDA smile using an angled cylindrical lens.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated significant spectral narrowing from 2 nm to 0.15 nm.
