Threshold characteristics of semiconductor microdisk lasers
Whispering-gallery mode microdisk lasers using optical’ and electrical2 excitation have recently been demonstrated. The initial experiments* and results described here use continuous-wave optical excitation at liquid-nitrogen temperatures. The threshold characteristics of these microlasers are studied here as the small volume limit is approached where there is a single optical mode within the g...
متن کاملDynamics of multimode semiconductor lasers
We analyze multi-longitudinal-mode semiconductor lasers experimentally. We show that the intensity of each mode displays large amplitude oscillations but obeys a highly organized antiphase dynamics leading to an almost constant total intensity output. For each mode, regular switching is observed in the megahertz range, while the optical frequency as a function of time follows a well defined seq...
متن کاملImproving the Thermal Characteristics of Semiconductor Lasers Using a New Asymmetric Waveguide Structure
Self-heating leads to a temperature rise of the laser diode and limits the output power and efficiency due to increased loss and decreased differential gain. To control device self-heating, it is required to design the laser structure with a low optical loss, while the heat flux must spread out of the device efficiently. In this study, a new asymmetric waveguide design is proposed and th...
متن کاملInternal optical loss and threshold characteristics of semiconductor lasers with a reduced-dimensionality active region
We develop a general approach to including the internal optical loss in the description of semiconductor lasers with a quantum-confined active region. We assume that the internal absorption loss coefficient is linear in the free-carrier density in the optical confinement layer and is characterized by two parameters, the constant component and the net cross-section for all absorption loss proces...
متن کاملThreshold Characteristics of Slow-Light Photonic Crystal Lasers.
The threshold properties of photonic crystal quantum dot lasers operating in the slow-light regime are investigated experimentally and theoretically. Measurements show that, in contrast to conventional lasers, the threshold gain attains a minimum value for a specific cavity length. The experimental results are explained by an analytical theory for the laser threshold that takes into account the...
