A COMPACT GRATING-STABILIZED DIODE LASER SYSTEM, AND A DOPPLER-FREE LASER POLARIZATION SPECTROMETER FOR Rb

We describe a compact, economic and versatile diode laser system based on commercial laser diode and a collimation tube, optically stabilized by means of feedback from a diffraction grating. Detailed instructions for the construction and operation of the diode laser system are presented. These instructions include machine drawings for the parts to be constructed. Our system offers single-mode o...

Integrated AlGaInAs-silicon evanescent race track laser and photodetector.

Here we report a racetrack resonator laser integrated with two photo-detectors on the hybrid AlGaInAs-silicon evanescent device platform. Unlike previous demonstrations of hybrid AlGaInAs-silicon evanescent lasers, we demonstrate an on-chip racetrack resonator laser that does not rely on facet polishing and dicing in order to define the laser cavity. The laser runs continuous-wave (c.w.) at 159...

Dual polarization fiber grating laser hydrophone.

A novel fiber optic hydrophone based on the integration of a dual polarization fiber grating laser and an elastic diaphragm is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The diaphragm transforms the acoustic pressure into transversal force acting on the laser cavity which changes the fiber birefringence and therefore the beat frequency between the two polarization lines. The proposed hydrophone ...

Grating integrated single mode microring laser.

Microring and microdisk lasers are potential candidates for small footprint, low threshold in-plane integrated lasers; however, they exhibit multimode lasing spectra and bistability. Here, we theoretically propose and experimentally demonstrate a novel approach for achieving single mode lasing in microring lasers. Our approach is based on increasing the radiation loss of all but one of the reso...
