Abstract

A flexible polymeric Bragg reflector is fabricated for the purpose of demonstrating widely tunable lasers with a compact simple structure. The external feedback of the Bragg reflected light into a superluminescent laser diode produces the lasing of a certain resonance wavelength. The highly elastic polymer device enables the direct tuning of the Bragg wavelength by controlling the imposed strain and provides a much wider tuning range than silica fiber Bragg gratings or thermo-optic tuned polymer devices. Both compressive and tensile strains are applied within the range from −36000 με to 35000 με, so as to accomplish the continuous tuning of the Bragg reflection wavelength over a range of up to 100 nm. The external feedback laser with the tunable Bragg reflector exhibits a repetitive wavelength tuning range of 80 nm with a side mode suppression ratio of 35 dB.

Repeatable measurement of the lasing wavelengths for 2 cycles of tensile and compressive strain applications. Each wavelength repeatedly produced for 4 times drops on the same point with a deviation of less than 0.2 nm exhibiting an excellent linearity, in which a strain tuning efficiency resulted in 1.40 pm/με.
