Theory of two-dimensional microcavity lasers
Various kinds of devices, such as lasers and musical instruments, utilize stationary-wave oscillations in resonant cavities. In order to maintain stationary oscillation in these devices, nonlinearity is essential in the mechanism for balancing the pumping of the external energy and the decay of the wave of the quasistable state in the resonant cavity. Besides, the interaction between nonlineari...
متن کاملNovel ultrafast semiconductor lasers
Novel ultrafast semiconductor lasers Ursula Keller ETH Zürich SESAM modelocked VECSELs and MIXSELs are attractive semiconductor laser sources that deliver ultrashort laser pulses with picosecond and femtosecond pulse durations in combination with watt-level average output power levels in the gigahertz repetition rate range. The excellent beam quality and low-noise performance makes them highly ...
متن کاملUltrafast photonic crystal lasers
We describe recent progress in photonic crystal nanocavity lasers with an emphasis on our recent results on ultrafast pulse generation. These lasers produce pulses on the picosecond scale, corresponding to only hundreds of optical cycles. We describe laser dynamics in optically pumped single cavities and in coupled cavity arrays, at low and room temperature. Such ultrafast, efficient, and compa...
متن کاملHigh power ultrafast lasers
In this article, we review progress in the development of high peak-power ultrafast lasers, and discuss in detail the design issues which determine the performance of these systems. Presently, lasers capable of generating terawatt peak powers with unprecedented short pulse duration can now be built on a single optical table in a small-scale laboratory, while large-scale lasers can generate peak...
متن کاملSpectral linewidth in microcavity surface-emitting lasers
The Schawlow-Townes expression for the laser linewidth predicts a substantial cw linewidth enhancement in microcavity lasers, in which a large fraction of spontaneous emission is directed into the lasing mode, in contrast with conventional semiconductor lasers, in which the lasing mode accepts only a tiny fraction of spontaneously emitted photons. By performing a theoretical analysis of rigorou...
