摘要： The present invention relates generally to semiconductor lasers and laser projection systems. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a projected laser image is generated utilizing an output beam of the semiconductor laser. A gain current control signal is generated by a laser feedback loop to control the gain section of the semiconductor laser. Wavelength fluctuations of the semiconductor laser are narrowed by incorporating a wavelength recovery operation in a drive current of the semiconductor laser and by initiating the wavelength recovery operations as a function of the gain current control signal or an optical intensity error signal. Additional embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

摘要： The present invention generally relates to the operation of optical network equipment such as optical amplifiers. In one aspect, a method of operating an optical amplifier is provided such that output of the optical amplifier avoids the effects of operating an optical gain medium in a non-linear (kink) region of an L-I curve. The method generally includes operating an optical gain medium in a fully off state or fully on state above the kink region with a PWM signal. In another aspect, the effects of the kink region may be compensated for by utilizing a lookup table. A sample of the optical power of an amplified optical signal may be used to select an entry in the lookup table that compensates for non-linearities in the kink region. In yet a further aspect, a lookup table may be used to control a pulse modulator to compensate for non-linearites in the kink region of the L-I curve.
