Mode Partition Noise in Multi-transverse Mode Vertical-cavity Surface-emitting Lasers

چکیده
Relative intensity noise spectra of weakly index guided VCSELs in a multi{transverse mode regime are analyzed by using a model that takes into account all the transverse modes supported by the waveguide. Several resonance peaks are obtained in the noise spectra that correspond to the relaxation oscillation frequencies of the transverse modes. In is shown that for low spatially overlapping transverse modes, low RIN operation can be maintained. However, the excitation of transverse modes with a signiicant mode overlap leads to a clear enhancement of the RIN at low frequencies.

TRANSVERSE 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...

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 کاملSurface-structure-assisted chaotic mode lasing in vertical cavity surface emitting lasers.
We demonstrate chaotic mode lasing in vertical cavity surface emitting lasers at room temperature, with an open cavity confined laterally by the native oxide layer. Instead of introducing any defect mode, we show that suppression of lower-order cavity modes can be achieved by destroying vertical reflectors with a surface microstructure. Lasing on chaotic modes is observed directly through colle...
