Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to participate in this Special Issue, titled “Advances in Optical and Optoelectronic Devices and Systems II”, through research articles that introduce the latest progress in the field and explore their applications. 

Optoelectronic technology and optoelectronic devices are an important part of information technology in the 21st century; have played a vital role in civil, military, education, and scientific research, as well as in other fields; and have changed our social life. In this Special Issue, we invite submissions exploring cutting-edge research and recent advances in optoelectronic devices and systems, from laser materials and laser sources to novel optoelectronic devices and applications. Potential topics include, but they are not limited to, the following:

  • Laser materials and optical films: new laser materials (glass, crystal, ceramics, etc.), optical fibers, nonlinear crystals, optical and functional films, damage mechanisms, etc.
  • Lasers, optical amplifiers, and laser optics: laser oscillators, laser amplifiers, optical resonators, nonlinear devices, high-power lasers, and beam propagation, etc.
  • Novel optoelectronic devices: new photonic and optical devices, optical sensors, optoelectronic detectors, electro-optic modulators, acousto-optic modulators, saturable absorbers, etc.

Single-longitudinal mode lasers are widely used as light sources in coherent lidars due to their narrow linewidth and long coherence length. However, we observed spontaneous frequency drift in a single-longitudinal mode laser, accompanied by the oscillation of a second mode, which could compromise the laser’s performance. In this study, we recorded the frequency drift and the resulting power fluctuations. By analyzing the centroid positions of the laser spot, we confirmed that the drift originated from changes in the optical path length. To address this issue, we designed an electro-optic Fabry–Perot etalon. When a 400 V voltage was applied, the laser returned to single-longitudinal mode operation within 15 s. The electro-optic etalon induced an optical path variation of 0.05 μm. This work provides new insights into the application of electro-optic crystals for stabilizing laser frequencies. Full article
