Critical Design and Operating Parameters of Active Waveguide Bragg Gratings for Laser Performance
Active waveguide Bragg gratings (AWBGs) are promising photonic structures that combine the very efficient reflective properties of a Bragg grating with the power amplification character of rare earths. This combination may lead to a potential monolithic laser under the proper conditions. However, th...

| description | Active waveguide Bragg gratings (AWBGs) are promising photonic structures that combine the very efficient reflective properties of a Bragg grating with the power amplification character of rare earths. This combination may lead to a potential monolithic laser under the proper conditions. However, the photonic response of these structures highly depends on the grating design and operating parameters, so modeling its response for their laser performance is a must. In this work, a numerical method is employed to calculate the optical power propagation along an Er/Yb-codoped integrated AWBG. A complete database of the AWBG response as a function of the most relevant operational parameters is obtained. As a result, the critical values of each design and operating parameter to achieve its laser performance have been determined, which represents very useful information for further experimental design, optimization, and fabrication of these photonic structures. |
