Continuous wave operation of a mid-infrared semiconductor laser at room temperature.
Continuous wave operation of quantum cascade lasers is reported up to a temperature of 312 kelvin. The devices were fabricated as buried heterostructure lasers with high-reflection coatings on both laser facets, resulting in continuous wave operation with optical output power ranging from 17 milliwatts at 292 kelvin to 3 milliwatts at 312 kelvin, at an emission wavelength of 9.1 micrometers. Th...
متن کاملLaser with thresholdless intensity fluctuations
We have studied the quantum-noise properties of a small slow-inversion laser experimentally and theoretically. As a function of pump rate, the average output intensity shows a sharp threshold, but the intensity fluctuations do not. Under quite generic conditions the intensity fluctuations of a sufficiently small slowinversion laser show highly super-Poissonian statistics ~even two times above t...
متن کاملContinuous-wave operation of a room-temperature, diode-laser-pumped, 946-nm Nd:YAG laser.
Single-stripe diode-laser-pumped operation of a continuous-wave 946-nm Nd:YAG laser with less than 10-mW threshold has been demonstrated. A slope efficiency of 16% near threshold was shown with a projected slope efficiency well above a threshold of 34% based on results under Rhodamine 6G dye-laser pumping. Nonlinear crystals for second-harmonic generation of this source were evaluated. KNbO(3) ...
متن کاملTunable Sealed - off Cw Co Laser at Room Temperature
There is an increasing need for broadband tunable lasers, with a narrow line-width, in the near-infrared region. Especially spectroscopists are interested in the region around 5/am, but also for laser-induced chemistry and air-pollution monitoring there are interesting applications for lasers in this wavelength region. A tunable cw CO laser will be a very attractive candidate because of its hig...
متن کاملGe-on-Si laser operating at room temperature.
Monolithic lasers on Si are ideal for high-volume and large-scale electronic-photonic integration. Ge is an interesting candidate owing to its pseudodirect gap properties and compatibility with Si complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology. Recently we have demonstrated room-temperature photoluminescence, electroluminescence, and optical gain from the direct gap transition of band-engin...
