Intensity and phase noise in microcavity surface-emitting semiconductor lasers
نویسندگان
چکیده
The noise characteristics of vertical-cavity surface-emitting (VCSE) lasers are studied by using the Langevin rate equations modified suitably to include the enhanced spontaneous emission occurring in such microcavity lasers. The intensity and frequency noise spectra show the effects induced by suppression of relaxation oscillations. However, such a suppression depends on the output power as well as on transverse dimensions of the VCSE laser. The laser linewidth increases considerably as a result of enhanced spontaneous emission.

Spectral 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...
متن کاملModulation Response and Relative Intensity Noise Spectra in Quantum Cascade Lasers
Static properties, relatively intensity noise and intensity modulation response in quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) studied theoretically in this paper. The present rate equations model consists of three equations for the electrons density in the conduction band and one equation for photons density in cavity length. Two equations were derived to calculate the noise and modulation response. Calcula...

متن کاملSpatial distribution of the intensity noise of a vertical-cavity surface-emitting semiconductor laser.
We studied anticorrelated quantum fluctuations between the TEM(00) and the TEM(01) transverse modes of a vertical-cavity surface-emitting semiconductor laser by measuring the transverse spatial distribution of the laser beam intensity noise. Our experimental results are found to be in good agreement with the predictions of a phenomenological model that accounts for quantum correlations between ...
