Two-mode threshold of a solid-state Fabry-Perot laser

Interferometry and laser control with solid Fabry-Perot etalons.

The use and analysis of solid Fabry-Perot etalons for interferometry and laser control are discussed and supported with experimental data. Low angle scattering is found to be an important factor influencing finesse and peak transmission. Thermal tuning sensitivity and wedge-angle control with thermal gradients are analyzed and illustrated. Control of laser oscillations using a solid-state etalo...

Observation of Nonlinear Mode in a Cylindrical Fabry-Perot Cavity

We report the first observation of a nonlinear mode in a cylindrical nonlinear FabryPerot cavity. The field enhancement from cavity buildup, as well as the large (3) optical nonlinearity due to resonantly-excited 85Rb vapor, allows the nonlinear mode to form at low incident optical powers of less than a milliwatt. The mode is observed to occur for both the self-focusing and self-defocusing nonl...

Active mode-locking of miniature fiber Fabry-Perot laser (FFPL) in a ring cavity

We demonstrate active mode-locking at 10GHz of a 10mm-long fiber Fabry-Perot laser (FFPL) in a ring cavity. We obtained very stable pulse trains without supermode noise. The pulsewidth was about 10ps, which could be shortened to 1.6ps by insertion of highly-nonlinear fiber.
