ENHANCED DESIGN OF FIBER GRATING FABRY-PEROT LASER FOR
DENSE WAVELENGTH DIVISION MULTIPLEXING SYSTEMS

Semiconductor laser diodes (SLDs) have been widely used in wavelength-division-
multiplexing (WDM) systems due to small size, low power consumption, fast response,
and its ability to perform direct modulation at moderate bit rates. A major obstacle
preventing closer channel spacing is the drift of emission wavelength with ambient
temperature variation. Therefore, with the development of dense WDM (DWDM)
systems, lasers with narrow linewidth, high side mode suppressed ratio (SMSR), low
chirp, low cost, and stable dynamic single-mode operation are indispensable.
In recent years, fiber grating Fabry-Perot (FGFP) laser is proposed as an alternative light
source for WDM systems, which can generate light with highly stable wavelengths. This
is because; the emission wavelength of such laser depends only on the Bragg wavelength
of fiber grating (FG), thus, independent of chip temperature and injection current.
However, FGFP laser output experiences phase fluctuations due to the quantum nature
of the light. In addition, ambient temperature variation causes fluctuation in the gain
spectrum, threshold current, and other cavity parameters. Furthermore, external optical
feedback (OFB) level (i.e. the light reflected back from grating fiber) significantly

affects the performance of FGFP laser, which may fluctuate the FGFP light intensity and
varies the dynamical and spectral behaviors of the laser. These will produce unwanted
effect such as mode hopping and/or the coherence collapse.
In this thesis, the performance of the FGFP laser is enhanced by optimizing parameters
in its original model. The effect of ambient temperature variation, OFB, injection
current, cavity volume, nonlinear gain compression factor, spontaneous emission factor,
linewidth enhancement factor, antireflection (AR) coating reflectivity, external cavity
length, amplitude coupling coefficient, and fiber Bragg grating (FBG) parameters on the
performance characteristics of the FGFP laser, namely dynamic response (transient
response, turn-on time delay, relaxation oscillation frequency), modulation responses
(intensity modulation, frequency modulation) and noise characteristics (relative intensity
noise, phase noise, linewidth characteristics) has been demonstrated. In this study, we
modeled FGFP laser based on the three-mirror laser cavity model. The reflection from
the external mirror is combined with the reflection of the laser end front facet, ending up
with a complex-valued effective reflection coefficient, which is equivalent to two-mirror
cavity. The expressions that describe the laser characteristics have been modified by
considering the effect of temperature, external OFB and other external cavity
parameters.
This thesis is presented based on the alternative format which has been approved by
University Putra Malaysia’s Senate, which is the manuscript-based format. The major
difference between this alternative format and the conventional ones is that, this format
uses published papers in place of the regular chapters on the results and discussion.
The first paper, which deals with the turn-on time delay characteristics of the
semiconductor diode lasers, is a comment paper, contains new results of the effect of the

carrier recombination rate coefficients on the laser turn-on time delay which is published
in Optics and Laser Technology. This journal in indexed by ISI Thomson Scientific with
2010 impact factor of 1.616. The results in this paper corrected the misconception to the
behavior of the carrier recombination rate coefficients on the laser turn-on time
delay, which has been published by Zhang et al, Opt. & Laser Technol. 39 (2007) 997–
1001. This paper is based on a numerical closed-form equation for turn-on time delay in
terms of all carrier recombination rate coefficients. The comparison between our results
and those that has been published was based on the practical and physical concepts for
the operation principle of semiconductor lasers. It has been shown that the main effect
of increasing any of the carrier recombination rate coefficients is to increase the turn-on
time delay (not to decrease, as in original report), which is due to increase of the carrier-
recombination rate. This fact has been supported further by investigating the effect of
carrier recombination rate coefficients on the laser threshold current.
The second paper contains a comprehensive analysis on FGFP laser peak intensity
modulation and relaxation oscillation frequency (ROF) characteristics, which is
published in Optical Review, the Japan Society of Applied Physics. This journal in
indexed by ISI Thomson Scientific with 2010 impact factor of 0.55. The frequency of
the relaxation oscillation plays an important role in determining laser response. The
study is performed by modifying the general expression of ROF equation, which is often
expressed in terms of the carrier and photon lifetimes. It is demonstrated that by
optimizing design parameters, ROF increased significantly to produce high flat
frequency operation.
The third paper investigated the FGFP laser modulation response characteristics, which
is published in Optics and Laser Technology. This journal in indexed by ISI Thomson

Scientific with 2010 impact factor of 1.616. In this paper, a unified and comprehensive
study on the small-signal intensity modulation (IM) and frequency modulation (FM)
characteristics of FGFP laser have been numerically conducted. This study has been
presented by developing the general expressions of the intensity and frequency
modulations response using the single-mode laser rate equation. It was shown that with
laser dimension optimization, IM and FM responses with low peak amplitude, high flat
frequency operation and high temperature stability can be obtained.
The most important feature of a semiconductor laser used in optical communication
systems is the ability to operate with low relative intensity noise. In the fourth paper, we
present a comprehensive analysis on the FGFP laser relative intensity noise (RIN)
characteristics, which is published in IEEE Journal Quantum Electronics. This journal is
indexed by ISI Thomson Scientific with 2010 impact factor of 2.48. In this paper, the
analysis has been performed numerically by developing a set of nonlinear single-mode
laser rate equations. It is shown that by laser optimization, the relative intensity noise
level of FGFP laser can be reduced significantly.
Finally, the phase noise characteristics of a semiconductor laser are of interest in
evaluating the performance of a coherent optical communication system. Because of the
quantum nature of the lasing process, the laser output exhibits phase as well as intensity
fluctuations. The fifth paper discussed the phase noise characteristics of FGFP laser,
which is published in the Journal of Modern Optics. This journal in indexed by ISI
Thomson Scientific with 2010 impact factor of 0.988. In this paper, the analysis was
performed numerically by modifying the general expression of the laser phase noise
equation. Through a comprehensive analysis, the results clearly show that by laser
optimization, the FGFP laser phase noise performances significantly improved.

DIPERTINGKATKAN REKABENTUK BAGI GENTIAN PARUTAN FABRY-
PEROT LASER UNTUK SISTEM PEMULTIPLEKSAN PEMBAHAGIAN PANJANG GELOMBANG PADAT
Oleh

Pengerusi: Prof. Madya Ahmad Fauzi Abas, PhD Fakulti: Kejuruteraan
Semikonduktor diod laser (SLDs) telah digunakan secara meluas dalam sistem
pemultipleksan pembahagian-panjang-gelombang (WDM) kerana saiz yang kecil,
penggunaan tenaga yang rendah, tindak balas yang cepat, dan keupayaan untuk
melaksanakan modulasi langsung pada kadar bit yang sederhana. Satu kekangan utama
yang menghadkan saiz saluran yang lebih kecil adalah hanyutan pancaran panjang
gelombang yang berkadar dengan perubahan suhu persekitaran. Oleh itu, dengan
pembangunan sistem WDM padat (DWDM), laser dengan lebar-garis yang sempit,
nisbah pempadatan mod sisi yang tinggi (SMSR), decit dan kos yang rendah serta
operasi dinamik mod-tunggal yang stabil adalah diperlukan.
Dalam tahun-tahun kebelakangan ini, laser gentian parutan Fabry-Perot (FGFP)
dicadangkan sebagai sumber cahaya alternatif untuk sistem WDM, yang mana ia boleh
menjana cahaya dengan panjang gelombang yang amat stabil. Ini adalah kerana panjang
gelombang pancaran laser tersebut hanya bergantung pada panjang gelombang gentian
parutan Bragg (FG), oleh itu ia bebas daripada suhu cip dan arus suntikan. Walau
bagaimanapun, keluaran laser FGFP mengalami turun naik fasa kerana sifat kuantum

cahaya. Tambahan pula, perubahan suhu persekitaran menyebabkan ketidakstabilan
gandaan spektrum, kadar arus dan parameter rongga yang lain. Seterusnya, tahap suapan
semula optik luaran (OFB), iaitu cahaya dipantulkan kembali dari gentian parutan sangat
mempengaruhi prestasi laser FGFP yang boleh mengubah turun naik cahaya FGFP dan
mempelbagai tingkah laku dinamik dan spektrum laser. Ini akan menghasilkan kesan
yang tidak diingini seperti melompat mod dan/atau keruntuhan koheren.
Dalam tesis ini, prestasi laser FGFP dipertingkatkan dengan mengoptimumkan
parameter dalam model asalnya. Kesan-kesan berikut telah ditunjukkan; perubahan suhu
persekitaran, OFB, suntikan arus, isipadu rongga, faktor mampatan gandaan tidak linear,
faktor pelepasan spontan, faktor peningkatan lebar-garis, tindak balas salutan
antipantulan (AR), panjang rongga luaran, pekali gandingan amplitud dan parameter
gentian parutan Bragg (FBG) pada ciri-ciri prestasi laser FGFP, iaitu tindak balas
dinamik (tindak balas transient, tangguhan masa hidup, kekerapan kelonggaran ayunan),
tindak balas modulasi (modulasi keamatan modulasi frekuensi) dan ciri-ciri kebisingan
(kekuatan kebisingan relatif, fasa kebisingan, ciri-ciri lebar-garis). Dalam kajian ini,
kami memodelkan laser FGFP berdasarkan model laser rongga tiga cermin. Pantulan
dari cermin luaran digabungkan dengan pantulan hujung facet laser, yang berkesudahan
dengan nilai kompleks pekali pantulan berkesan, yang bersamaan dengan rongga dua
cermin. Rumus yang menghuraikan ciri-ciri model laser telah diubahsuai dengan
mengambil kira kesan suhu, OFB luaran dan lain-lain parameter rongga luar untuk
analisa prestasi model secara komprehensif.
Tesis ini disampaikan berdasarkan format alternatif yang telah diluluskan oleh Senat
Universiti Putra Malaysia, iaitu berasaskan format manuskrip. Perbezaan utama antara

format alternatif ini dari yang konvensional ia mengemukakan kompilasi kertas kerja
yang telah diterbitkan, mengantikan bab-bab keputusan dan perbincangan.
Kertas kerja pertama adalah berkaitan dengan ciri-ciri tangguhan masa penghidupan
pada laser diod semikonduktor, merupakan kertas kerja ulasan yang mengandungi
keputusan baru dalam kesan pekali kadar penggabungan pembawa semula pada
tqangguhan masa penghidupan laser yang disiarkan dalam Laser dan Optik Teknologi.
Jurnal ini diindeks oleh ISI Thomson Saintifik dengan Impact Factor pada 2010
sebanyak 1.616. Keputusan dalam kertas ini membetulkan salah tanggapan kepada
kelakuan pekali kadar penggabungan pembawa semula pada laser seterusnya pada hela
masa yang telah diterbitkan oleh Zhang et al, Opt. & Laser Technol. 39 (2007) 997-
1001. Kertas kerja ini adalah berdasarkan persamaan bentuk tertutup berangka untuk
tangguhan masa penghidupan untuk semua pekali kadar penggabungan semula
pembawa. Perbandingan keputusan adalah berdasarkan konsep praktikal dan fizikal bagi
prinsip operasi laser semikonduktor. Ia menunjukkan kesan utama peningkatan mana-
mana pekali kadar penggabungan semula pembawa adalah dengan meningkatkan
kelewatan pusingan pada masa yang ditetapkan (tidak mengurangkan, seperti dalam
laporan asal), yang adalah disebabkan untuk meningkatkan kadar pembawa rekombinasi.
Fakta ini telah disokong lagi dengan menyiasat kesan pekali kadar penggabungan
semula pembawa di kadar arus laser.
Kertas kerja kedua mengandungi analisis komprehensif mengenai ciri-ciri modulasi
keamatan puncak dan kelonggaran frekuensi ayunan bagi laser FGFP. Kertas kerja ini
diterbitkan dalam Kajian Optik, Persatuan Fizik Gunaan Jepun yang diindeks oleh ISI
Thomson Saintifik dengan Impact Factor 2010 adalah 0.55. Kekerapan ayunan longgar
memainkan peranan yang penting dalam menentukan tindak balas laser. Kajian ini

dilakukan dengan mengubahsuai persamaan umum ROF yang diungkapkan dari segi
pembawa dan jangka hayat foton. Ia menunjukkan bahawa dengan mengoptimumkan
reka bentuk parameter, ROF meningkat dengan ketara untuk menghasilkan operasi
frekuensi tinggi yang rata.
Kertas ketiga menyiasat tindak balas ciri-ciri pemodulatan laser FGFP yang diterbitkan
dalam Laser dan Optik Teknologi. Jurnal ini diindeks oleh ISI Thomson Saintifik
dengan Impact Factor 2010 sebanyak 1.616. Dalam kertas kerja ini, satu kajian yang
seragam dan menyeluruh telah dijalankan secara berangka ke atas ciri-ciri isyarat kecil
modulasi keamatan (IM) dan modulasi frekuensi (FM) laser FGFP. Kajian ini telah
dibentangkan dengan membangunkan ungkapan umum tindak balas modulasi keamatan
dan frekuensi menggunakan persamaan kadar laser satu mod. Ia menunjukkan bahawa
dengan mengoptimumkan dimensi laser, IM dan tindak balas FM dengan amplitud
puncak yang rendah, operasi kekerapan rata yang tinggi dan kestabilan pada suhu yang
tinggi boleh diperolehi.
Ciri paling penting bagi laser semikonduktor yang digunakan dalam sistem komunikasi
optik adalah kemampuannya beroperasi dengan keamatan gangguan relatif yang rendah.
Dalam kertas kerja keempat, kami kemukakan suatu analisis komprehensif mengenai
ciri-ciri relatif keamatan gangguan (RIN) laser FGFP, yang diterbitkan di Jurnal
Kuantum Elektronik IEEE. Jurnal ini diindeks oleh ISI Thomson Saintifik dengan
Impact Factor 2010 sebanyak 2.48. Dalam kertas ini, analisis secara numerical telah
dilakukan dengan membangunkan satu set persamaan laser mod tunggal tak berkadar
terus. Ia menunjukkan bahawa dengan mengoptimumkan laser, tahap keamatan
gangguan relatif daripada FGFP laser boleh dikurangkan dengan ketara.

Akhirnya, ciri-ciri gangguan fasa laser semikonduktor adalah penting dalam menilai
prestasi sistem komunikasi optik yang koheren. Oleh kerana sifat kuantum proses laser,
keluaran laser menunjukkan fasa dan keamatan yang turun naik. Kertas kelima
membincangkan ciri-ciri fasa gangguan laser FGFP yang diterbitkan dalam Jurnal Optik
Moden. Jurnal ini diindeks oleh ISI Thomson Saintifik dengan Impact Factor 2010
sebanyak 0.988. Dalam kertas ini, analisis berangka telah dilakukan dengan
mengubahsuai ungkapan umum persamaan fasa gangguan laser. Melalui analisis yang
komprehensif, keputusan dengan jelas menunjukkan bahawa melalui pengoptimuman
laser, kadar fasa gangguan laser FGFP telah melalui penambahbaikan yang ketara.
