Participantplease,
if i have laser source with linewidth=0.4nm ,what is the value of linewidth in MHZ????? -

ParticipantIt depends on the central wavelength. The formula is LINE(Hz)=c/lambda^2 * LINE(m)

ParticipantHi Mohammad,
I believe the linewidth in Hz very much depends on the central frequency of the laser whose linewidth you are calculating. I sort of had more or less the same question and here is the answer I got the following answer which explains it:

Participantif i have cw laser source at wavelength 1550 nm with linewidth 0.4 nm ,how can i enter the value of this linewidth in CW laser component??
the linewidth in optisystem is given in MHZ??
please help me-

ParticipantAccording to the formula given by Alessandro in his comment (which is the formula for the explanation given to me in the addressed forum page) the linewidth of the laser is 49.948 GHz, which is a really large value for the CW laser linewidth especially for low power commercial lasers.

ParticipantWhat do you think about the appropriate value for the linewidth

ParticipantThe laser linewidth can be from 1 kHz to 1 GHz depending on the laser. For low-power commercial CW lasers, values of a few kiloHz can be found. I have seen laser power being set as 100kHz in some of OptiSystem samples, which I think is a very realistic value with regard to commercial lasers.

Participantdr alistu :but i have a paper ,the author has done experiment with laser source with o/p power 6.8 dbm and with linewidth 0.4 nm at wavelength 645 nm using plastic fiber with length 200 m.
i need your help to know how can i enter the 0.4 nm at the linewidth of the laser source component in optisystem?-

ParticipantI know it is a large value for the linewidth, butI have merely used the formula that Alessandro has suggested in his comment which I believe is definitely correct for calculation of the parameter. Can you please address the paper in which such a value has been assigned to the linewidth?

ParticipantDear Alitsu, thanks for using me as a reference 🙂
Dear Mihammed, 0.4nm at 645nm center is a linewidth of 288Ghz, which really seems a lot as Alitsu says! Can you send any reference?

Alessandro

ParticipantYou’re welcome Alessandro! The relation and your answer was really useful to me in the other forum, when I hadn’t noticed the point of central frequency being a factor in the process of calculation.

ParticipantYou are right Mohammed. And figure 11 where the spectrum of the laser is shown clearly states this rather great linewidth being used in the design. Therefore, I suggest you go on with your simulation and see if you find any trouble getting the proper results, which apparently you shouldn’t encounter.

ParticipantHi Mohammed, unfortunately I do not have access to IEEE articles. Anyway, good luck with your research and I hope I have been helpful!
Best Regards,
Alessandro
