Confocal unstable-resonator semiconductor laser.
GaAs/GaAlAs heterostructure lasers with a monolithic confocal unstable resonator were demonstrated. The curved mirrors satisfying the confocal condition were fabricated by etching. Close to threshold, the lasers operate in a single lateral mode with a nearly collimated output beam. A single-lobe far-field intensity distribution as narrow as 1.9 degrees full width at half maximum was measured.
متن کاملVertical-external-cavity semiconductor lasers
Surface-emitting semiconductor lasers can make use of external cavities and optical pumping techniques to achieve a combination of high continuous-wave output power and near-diffraction-limited beam quality that is not matched by any other type of semiconductor source. The ready access to the laser mode that the external cavity provides has been exploited for applications such as intra-cavity f...
متن کاملCavity formation in semiconductor lasers
A semiconductor laser is often considered as an optical gain medium inside a Fabry-Perot resonant cavity. Lasing emission into cavity modes requires that photons experience at least one round trip within the resonator. A natural question concerns the effect multiple round trips in the resonator (i.e., cavity formation) has on temporal evolution of lasing light intensity and spectra. Under norma...
متن کاملHigh-Brightness Unstable-Resonator Semiconductor Laser Diodes
High-power high-brightness unstable-resonator edge-emitting semiconductor laser diodes with dry-etched curved mirrors were fabricated and characterized. The epitaxial structure was optimized for high output power operation and consists of a GaAs/AlGaAs gradedindex separate-confinement heterostructure (GRINSCH) with a single 980-nm-emitting InGaAs quantum well. The curved mirrors of the unstable...
متن کاملUnstable cavity lasers – from kaleidoscopes to snowflakes
Unstable cavity lasers have linear resonators with inherent magnification whose mode patterns possess fractal characteristics (proportional levels of detail across decimal orders of spatial scale) [1]. The origin of fractality in strip resonators has been explained by considering repeated diffraction of the circulating field at the feedback mirror (which subsequently plays a key role in determi...
