摘要

Summary form only given. Numerous applications such as free space optical communications, metrology and differential absorption lidar systems require high brightness laser sources with spectral purity. Monolithically integrated Master Oscillator Power Amplifiers (MOPAs) are promising candidates to fulfil these requirements. In particular, a three-section bent mOpA at 1.5 μm was recently proposed as laser source for an integrated path differential absorption lidar system for measurement of atmospheric CO2 [1]. The device consists of a distributed feedback (DFB) section acting as master oscillator, a bent modulator (MOD) section and a tapered semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) section with a tilted front facet to avoid coupled cavity effects [2]. Three separate electrical contacts on the laser chip provide access to the three sections: the DFB current controls the laser emission frequency, the MOD current allows for modulation and the SOA current drives the amplification. The MOD section acts as an absorber or amplifier when driven at zero or positive voltage bias respectively. Complete output extinction requires negative values of the MOD current due to carrier generation caused by the power injected from the DFB into the MOD section [1].Here, we theoretically investigate the observed characteristics of a three-section MOPA both in CW and under modulation operation by means of a Traveling Wave Model (TWM) [3] that naturally includes spatial effects (such as spatial hole burning and coupled-cavity effects) and multimode dynamics. The multi-section TWM [4] has been modified in order to reproduce the electrical behaviour of the MOPA. Specifically, we consider the voltage applied to each section as an input parameter, and then the local current density depends on space through the local carrier density, and it can be positive when the modulator is acting as an amplifier or negative when the modulator is absorbing the light injected by the DFB section.
