Linear Tailored Gain Broad Area Semiconductor Lasers
Tailored gain semiconductor lasers capable of high-power operation with single-lobed, nearly diffraction limited beamwidths only a few degrees wide have been demonstrated in proton implanted chirped arrays and “halftone” broad area lasers. We analyze lasers with a linear gain gradient, and obtain analytic approximations for their unsaturated optical eigenmodes. Unlike a uniform array, the funda...
متن کاملControlling filamentation in broad-area semiconductor lasers and amplifiers
We show that with the introduction of a new pair of epitaxial layers, sandwiched between the active and cladding regions, self-defocusing can play an important role in stabilizing the lateral mode in broad-area semiconductor lasers and amplifiers. Under certain conditions, it can be used to eliminate filamentation and provide a nearly flat mode profile by adjusting the band gap of the new self-...
متن کاملSaturable nonlinear dielectric waveguide with applications to broad-area semiconductor lasers.
Self-focusing in a passive dielectric waveguide with a saturable nonlinearity is studied. The eigensolutions constitute a good approximation to the lateral modes of broad-area semiconductor lasers under low-duty-cycle pulsed conditions. The laser modes are predicted to consist of adjacent filaments coupled in phase, leading to a single-lobed far field, and to be stable with increased current in...
متن کاملSpatio-temporal Dynamics of Broad Area Semiconductor Lasers and its Characterization
We present experiments giving evidence for the onset of irregular spatio{ temporal dynamics on picosecond timescales in broad area lasers and characterize the dynamical complexity. In particular, we present single shot streak camera measurements of the nearreld dynamics of a device with 100m width and successfully apply Karhunen-Lo eve-Decomposition (KLD) directly to the experimental data. Only...
متن کاملBeam shaping in high-power broad-area quantum cascade lasers using optical feedback
Broad-area quantum cascade lasers with high output powers are highly desirable sources for various applications including infrared countermeasures. However, such structures suffer from strongly deteriorated beam quality due to multimode behavior, diffraction of light and self-focusing. Quantum cascade lasers presenting high performances in terms of power and heat-load dissipation are reported a...
