We demonstrate an ultra-narrow linewidth vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) based on external-cavity weak distributed feedback from Rayleigh backscattering (RBS). A single longitudinal mode VCSEL with the linewidth as narrow as 435 Hz and a contrast of 55 dB are experimentally achieved by RBS fiber with a feedback level of RBS signal of -27.6 dB. By adjusting the thermal resistance of the VCSEL from 4.5 kΩ to 7.0 kΩ, the laser wavelength can be tuned from 1543.324 nm to 1542.06 nm with a linear tuning slope of -0.506 nm/kΩ. In the tuning process, the linewidth fluctuates in the range of 553-419 Hz.

High-quality quantum dots (QDs) possess superior electroluminescent efficiencies and ultra-narrow emission linewidths are essential for realizing ultra-high definition QD light-emitting diodes (QLEDs). However, the synthesis of such QDs remains challenging. In this study, we present a facile high-temperature successive ion layer adsorption and reaction (HT-SILAR) strategy for the growth of precisely tailored ZnCdSe/ZnSe shells, and the consequent production of high-quality, large-particle, alloyed red CdZnSe/ZnCdSe/ZnSe/ZnS/CdZnS QDs.

An ultra-narrow-linewidth laser is a core device in fields such as optical atomic clocks, quantum communications, and microwave photonic oscillators. This paper reports an ultra-narrow-linewidth self-injection locked semiconductor laser, which is realized through optical feedback from a high-Q (258 million) Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity constructed with three mirrors, generating an output power of 12 mW. Employing a delay self-heterodyne method based on a signal source analyzer, the phase noise of the laser is -129 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset frequency, with an intrinsic linewidth of 3 mHz.

Frequency response measurement, or the forward transmission coefficient (S) measurement for a two-port network, is the key function of a vector network analyzer (VNA). In this paper, a broadband and high dynamic range (DR) microwave S parameter measurement scheme based on an optical phase-locked loop (OPLL) is proposed. By heterodyning two phase-locked hybrid integrated ultra-narrow linewidth lasers, a microwave signal with low phase noise and spurious level is generated as the incident signal and reference signal, and the signal frequency can be easily manipulated over a wide range by tuning the master laser wavelength.

This article presents a flexibly tunable microwave photonic filter (MPF) with a dual ultra-narrow passband based on a dual-wavelength and narrow linewidth Brillouin laser. The dual passband of the filter not only exhibits ultra-high frequency selectivity but also allows for flexible and simultaneous tuning of the center frequency and interval of the passbands. In the proposed scheme, the core optical processor of the MPF consists of a dual-ring Brillouin laser resonator, which is composed of a 100-meter main fiber ring cascaded with a 10-meter secondary fiber ring.
