Complex Waveguide Supermode Analysis of Coherently-Coupled Microcavity Laser Arrays
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coherently coupled microcavity lasers have desirable properties for emerging applications. We use 2-dimensional complex refractive index waveguide modeling of 2-element photonic crystal vertical cavity surface emitting laser arrays to analyze their supermodes. The modal effective indices are used in turn calculate the coupling coefficient between array elements. An analysis effects design parameters, such as period, fill-factor, or confinement, engineer desired is given and example designs 850 nm presented.

Observation of low-loss broadband supermode propagation in coupled acoustic waveguide complex
We investigate analytically, numerically, and experimentally the low-loss supermode propagation in a coupled acoustic waveguide complex within a broadband. The waveguide complex is implemented with air channels coupled via an ultrathin metafluid layer. We analytically derive the field distribution of incident sound needed for producing acoustic supermodes, and verify the periodically revival pr...
متن کاملBeam steering via resonance detuning in coherently coupled vertical cavity laser arrays
Coherently coupled vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser arrays offer unique advantages for nonmechanical beam steering applications. We have applied dynamic coupled mode theory to show that the observed temporal phase shift between vertical-cavity surface-emitting array elements is caused by the detuning of their resonant wavelengths. Hence, a complete theoretical connection between the diffe...
متن کاملSupermode analysis of phase-locked arrays of semiconductor lasers: erratum.
The optical characteristics of phase-locked semiconductor laser arrays are formulated in terms of the array supermodes, which are the eigenmodes of the composite-array waveguide, by using coupled-mode theory. These supermodes are employed to calculate the near fields, the far fields, and the difference in the longitudinal-mode oscillation wavelengths of the array. It is shown that the broadenin...
متن کاملSupermode dispersion and waveguide-to-slot mode transition in arrays of silicon-on-insulator waveguides.
In this Letter, we report group index measurements of the supermodes of an array of two strongly coupled silicon-on-insulator waveguides. We observe coupling-induced dispersion that is greater than the material and waveguide dispersion of the individual waveguides. We demonstrate that the system transforms from supporting the two supermodes associated with two coupled waveguides to the single m...
