Effects of Optical Feedback on Static and Dynamic Characteristics of Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers
We present a numerical study of the effects of optical feedback on the static and dynamic characteristics of verticalcavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL’s) under both single-mode and two-mode operations. Our model includes transverse effects such as carrier diffusion and spatial hole burning (SHB) and is therefore capable of including gain-saturation-induced coupling among transverse modes. F...
متن کاملObservation of low-frequency fluctuations in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers.
Low-frequency fluctuations, which are typical irregular oscillations in edge-emitting semiconductor lasers, are experimentally observed for the y-polarization mode (y is the direction along the optical axis of a laser material) in a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser with optical feedback.
متن کاملSynchronization of unidirectionally coupled multi-transverse-mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers
The synchronization of unidirectionally coupled multi-transverse-mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) is numerically studied. It is demonstrated that synchronization can be achieved between each transverse mode of a master laser and its counterpart, a slave laser. This result opens the opportunity for multichannel chaotic communications by use of multi-transverse-mode VCSELs. I...
متن کاملTRANSVERSE MODE SELECTION AND NOISE PROPERTIES OF EXTERNAL CAVITY VCSELs INCLUDING MULTIPLE REFLECTION EFFECTS
A theoretical analysis has been undertaken of the steady state transverse mode selection in Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) subject to optical feedback in an external cavity connguration. Proper account is taken of multiple re-ections in the external cavity. The innuence of thermal eeects on the mode selection is also treated and noise properties of the connguration are discuss...
متن کاملFeedback-induced chaos and intensity-noise enhancement in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers
We investigate numerically the effects of optical feedback on the intensity noise of vertical-cavity surfaceemitting lasers (VCSEL’s) under single-mode and two-mode operations. Our model includes transverse effects such as carrier diffusion and spatial hole-burning. Results indicate that the relative-intensity noise is relatively unaffected at low feedback levels except for a narrowing and enha...
