Stability of a diode laser with phase-conjugate feedback.

چکیده
An exact analysis is presented of the steady-state stability of a semiconductor laser subjected to feedback from a phase-conjugate mirror. Reduced stability occurs at low feedback whenever the effective external delay time is an integer multiple of the relaxation oscillation period. The role of a finite response time of the mirror is to enhance drastically the steady-state stability.

Broad-Area Diode Lasers With Plane-Mirror and Phase-Conjugate Feedback
The output state of a broad-area diode (BAD) laser with phase conjugate feedback (PCF) from Rh : BaTiO3 crystal is compared to the same diode laser with conventional optical feedback from a plane mirror. A number of distinct output states, including low frequency fluctuations, are observed for each feedback type. Stable single spectral mode output is achieved with phase conjugate feedback above...
متن کاملLong-term stable mode locking of a visible diode laser with phase-conjugate feedback.
We present a new method to obtain long-term stable phase-conjugate feedback (pcf) with a photorefractive crystal for a mode-locked semiconductor laser. The phase-conjugate mirror is a barium titanate crystal in a self-pumped internal reflection configuration, and the laser is a visible, antireflection-coated AlGaInP diode. We describe a new dynamic writing procedure for growth of an index grati...
متن کاملPhase-conjugate fluorozirconate fiber laser operating at 800 nm.
We report phase-conjugate feedback into a fluorozirconate optical fiber amplifier at infrared wavelengths. By using a semiconductor laser diode at 807 nm, a grating is established in photorefractive BaTiO(3) that, in the ring configuration, provides feedback into the amplifier necessary for laser action. Once written, the grating is self-sustaining, and lasing is observed even after the laser d...

We demonstrate an efficient dynamical amplification of phase conjugation in the gain medium of a diode-pumped Nd(3+)YVO4 solid-state laser via excitation of its relaxation oscillations. Consequently, enhancement in the modulated amplitude of the phase conjugate wave is observed with up to +30 dB compared to the classical homodyne approach.
متن کاملEffect of Conventional in-Office Bleaching and Laser Assisted Bleaching at Two Different Wavelengths on Color Stability of Glass-Ionomers
Background and Aim: Bleaching can improve the color of restorative materials and resolve problems related to discoloration or color mismatch. This study evaluated the effect of in-office bleaching method in conjunction with two different laser wavelengths on color change of two types of glass-ionomer restorative materials (light-cure and self-cure). Materials and Methods: In this experimenta...
