Scalable high-power, high-speed CW VCSEL arrays

چکیده
A demonstration of a high-power, high-speed 980 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser array with continuous-wave power of greater than 120 mW and frequency response over 7.5 GHz at room temperature is reported. Experimental results show that copper plating the array elements and flip-chip bonding provides effective thermal management as well as offering uniform current distribution at microwave frequencies. This is verified by the radial dependence of modulation bandwidth. These arrays may be useful for short-range light detection and ranging or free-space optical communications systems.

The ability to fabricate monolithic two-dimensional (2D) diode laser arrays is a key step towards making high-power lasers at low cost, because the manufacture of such laser arrays eliminates labour-intensive fabrication and packaging [ 11. The surface-normal topology of the vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) makes it ideally suited to the formation of 2D arrays for high power appli...
متن کاملHigh power VCSEL array pumped Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers
Solid-state lasers pumped by high-power two-dimensional arrays of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) were investigated. Both end-pumping and side-pumping schemes of Nd:YAG lasers with high power kW-class 808 nm VCSEL pump modules were implemented. For one application 10 mJ blue laser pulses were obtained from a frequencydoubled actively Q-switched VCSEL-array dual side-pumped Nd:Y...

Introduction: Two-dimensional (2D)-phased vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) arrays offer unique advantages for scaling up single-mode power for high-brightness applications such as fibre laser pumps. They tend, however, to operate in the undesirable out-of-phase mode, which has an on-axis null in the far field [1]. In-phase VCSEL arrays with an on-axis maximum in the far field have...

We report an electrically pumped hybrid cavity AlGaInAs-silicon long-wavelength VCSEL using a high contrast grating (HCG) reflector on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. The VCSEL operates at silicon transparent wavelengths ~1.57 μm with >1 mW CW power outcoupled from the semiconductor DBR, and single-mode operation up to 65 °C. The thermal resistance of our device is measured to be 1.46 K...

We report a nano-electromechanical optoelectronic (NEMO) tunable vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) with an ultra-thin (145 nm) electrostatically actuated high-index-contrast subwavelength grating (HCG) designed to strongly reflect TE-polarized light. Single mode emission (SMSR >45 dB) and continuous wavelength tuning (approximately 4 nm) were obtained at room temperature with outpu...
