摘要

具有良好单色性的可调谐光纤激光器是密集波分复用传输 系统中的关键组件. 传统的调制方法难与全光通信网络兼容. 本文 中, 我们利用MXene (Ti2NTx)的强光热效应, 对基于迈克尔逊干涉 仪的全光波长调谐光纤激光器进行了研究. 对于全光调制器来说, 信号光的相移, 随控制光功率具有0.03π mW−1的线性关系. 获得25 dB的调制深度, 有利于提高调制器的灵敏度以实现快速的波长扫描. 另外, 实现的全光波长调谐激光器具有大边模抑制比, 宽波长调谐范围和窄3-dB光谱宽度. 这种新颖的基于Ti2NTx的全光波长调谐器不仅扩展了全光调制器的应用领域, 而且也为基于Ti2NTx的异质结构提供了可扩展的可用性, 以构建高性能的全光纤激光器.
