Narrow linewidth lasers have important applications in optical communication and sensing. To accurately measure the linewidth, we built a laser linewidth measurement system based on 3×3 coupler. It uses the demodulation algorithm of Differential Cross Multiplication to get the phase noise, and then obtains the linewidth value according to the β-separation line method. At the same time, we introduced wavelet denoising in the signal processing in order to reduce the influence of low frequency noise. Two wavelet bases, db4 and sym11, which were more effective for this system were identified through simulation, and experiments were conducted using a 2 μm band laser. The results prove that the frequency noise power spectral density and linewidth values are reduced after using wavelet denoising.
A free space optical communication system at 2 μm band was preliminary demonstrated. The fiber laser source is a homemade continuous wave thulium-doped fiber laser with single-wavelength output. The center wavelength of the fiber laser is 2048.15 nm, and the fluctuation of the wavelength and optical power is less than 0.02 nm and 0.893 dB, respectively. By modulating and demodulating the radio frequency signal, the text and real-time video transmission was realized. The transmission distance in free space is ~1 m, and the transmission rate is less than 66 kbit/s. With further improvement, the system may be well suited in free space optical communication system.
