摘要
We present a simple iterative pre-distortion algorithm for achieving a rapid linear frequency sweep of semiconductor lasers. The algorithm achieves the desired frequency swept linearity with only four iterations. We derive a general formula for iterative pre-distortion by establishing the relationship between the laser output frequency and the drive current. The linear frequency-swept laser source obtained by this algorithm can be used in FMCW LiDAR systems. Experimentally, we investigated the algorithm using a 1550 nm distributed feedback (DFB) laser, achieving frequency swept excursion of 30.26 GHz, and frequency swept slope of 504 THz/s. We analyzed the linearity of the frequency swept results for the fourth iteration, achieving less than 5 MHz root mean square (RMS) value of frequency swept nonlinearity.
