چکیده
We report the operation of an optical in-well-pumped vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser. The laser delivers 1 W at 855 nm and is pumped with a cost-effective fiber-coupled laser diode emitting at 806 nm. The laser modal gain is examined and ways of optimizing the system are investigated and discussed.

Effect of variation of specifications of quantum well and contact length on performance of InP-based Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL)
Abstract: In this study, the effects of variation of thickness and the number of quantumwells as well as the contact length were investigated. In this paper, a vertical cavity surfaceemitting laser was simulated using of software based on finite element method. Thenumber of quantum wells was changed from 3 to 9 and the results which are related tooutput power, resonance ...
متن کاملHigh Power Pulsed Intra-Cavity Frequency Doubled Vertical Extended Cavity Blue Laser Arrays
Electrically pumped vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) can produce hundreds of mW's of 976 nm CW output in a TEM00 mode when operated with an external cavity configuration. During pulsed operation (<50ns) a significant increase in the peak power is observed, compared to CW operation. High peak powers makes these lasers very well suited for intra-cavity frequency doubling with a no...
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 کاملFemtosecond synchronously in-well pumped vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser.
We demonstrate the first synchronously in-well pumped vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser (VECSEL). Depending on the cavity mismatch, laser pulses with a duration from 1 ps to 7 ps at a repetition rate of 76 MHz were generated directly from the laser at 860 nm. The application of extra-cavity pulse compression further shortened the pulse to a duration of 210 fs providing a peak powe...
متن کاملOptically pumped GaN vertical cavity surface emitting laser with high index-contrast nanoporous distributed Bragg reflector.
Laser operation of a GaN vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) is demonstrated under optical pumping with a nanoporous distributed Bragg reflector (DBR). High reflectivity, approaching 100%, is obtained due to the high index-contrast of the nanoporous DBR. The VCSEL system exhibits low threshold power density due to the formation of high Q-factor cavity, which shows the potential of na...
