“…are a very complicated function of temperature, electrical, optical state history and laser structure itself. The impact of thermal effect on optical state was studied in a number of previous works [5,6,7]. The main impact of thermal effect is the resulted optical frequency shift, whereas its impact is much less on optical power.…”

We demonstrate a fast Quasi-Continuous frequency scanning semiconductor laser source for optical fiber sensor interrogation systems. The tunable laser covers a wavelength range of 32nm in C-band with tuning resolution of 8pm. The scanning time over the complete wavelength range in C band is less than 1ms while the switching time from one wavelength point to another point can be less than 100ns. A fast current driver controlled using FPGAs have been employed to drive a DSDBR laser for the realization of the fast tunable laser module. Experimental results have verified its possible application in optical sensor interrogation systems.

“…However, their implementation in optical networks is quite reduced. For example, one PID controller was integrated in dynamic optical burst-switched networks [21] to model a wavelength-locking loop in order to stabilize the output of tunable lasers. In the articles [22][23] authors designed controllers to manage certain tasks in optical grid networks and for the establishment of lightpaths in WDM networks.…”
