چکیده
We investigate the spatial structure of broad-area vertical-cavity regenerative amplifiers injected with a homogeneous beam. The emerging patterns have a predominantly sixfold rotational symmetry, verifying the recent prediction of formation of hexagons. The length scale is controllable by means of detuning and follows the prediction for tilted waves.

Spatial decoherence of pulsed broad-area vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers.
We report a strong reduction of spatial coherence of the emission of large aperture vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers when they are driven by microsecond electrical pulses. We give evidence that this is due to a breakdown of the modal emission of these lasers. The spatial decoherence manifests itself in the formation of a Gaussian far field intensity distribution. The coherence radius we ...
متن کاملCoupling of polarization and spatial degrees of freedom of highly divergent emission in broad-area square vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers.
The polarization of highly divergent modes of broad-area square vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers is shown to be only marginally affected by material anisotropies but determined by an interplay of the polarization properties of the Bragg cavity mirrors and of the transverse boundary conditions. This leads to a locking of the polarization direction to the boundaries and its indeterminacy f...
متن کاملCavity Optimization of Electrically Pumped VECSELs
Surface-emitting lasers with an external cavity delivering a diffraction-limited beam have shown the potential to outperform edge-emitting devices in applications demanding high brightness (emitted intensity per unit solid angle), like pumping of doped fiber amplifiers or frequency doubling [1]–[3]. Due to the large mode size, the VECSEL concept is powerscalable by expanding the pumped area and...
متن کاملClosed-Form Solutions for Broad-Band Equivalent Circuit of Vertical Rod Buried in Lossy Grounds Subjected to Lightning Strokes
Abstract— In this paper, input impedance of a vertical rod under lightning stroke is first computed by applying the method of moments (MoM) on the Maxwell’s equations. The circuit model is then achieved through applying modified vector fitting (MVF) on the computed input impedance. After then the equivalent circuit is again extracted for a few values of soil conductivity and rod radius. Finally...
متن کاملSpatio-temporal dynamics in vertical cavity surface emitting lasers excited by fast electrical pulses
We have measured the time average spatial intensity distribution and the spatio-temporal evolution of the spectrally Ž . resolved radiation emitted from broad-area vertical cavity surface emitting lasers VCSEL when pumped by a fast current pulse. We show that an intrinsic symmetry break exists due to geometrical asymmetry of the device structure and that the frequency separation between differe...
