Self-pulsation in fiber-coupled, on-chip microcavity lasers.

چکیده
We report self-pulsation in an erbium-doped silica toroidal microcavity laser coupled to a tapered fiber and investigate the effects of pump power and taper-cavity coupling condition on the dynamic behaviors of the pulse train. The microcavity is pumped at 1444.8 nm, and lasing occurs at 1560.2 nm with a threshold of 12 microW. Experimental results are interpreted within the framework of ion-pair induced self-quenching model.

Ultra-compact and low-threshold thulium microcavity laser monolithically integrated on silicon.
We demonstrate an ultra-compact and low-threshold thulium microcavity laser that is monolithically integrated on a silicon chip. The integrated microlaser consists of an active thulium-doped aluminum oxide microcavity beside a passive silicon nitride bus waveguide, which enables on-chip pump-input and laser-output coupling. We observe lasing in the wavelength range of 1.8-1.9 μm under 1.6 μm re...
متن کاملComplete elimination of self-pulsations in dual-clad ytterbium-doped fiber lasers at all pumping levels.
We have demonstrated suppression and elimination of self-pulsing in a watt-level, dual-clad, ytterbium-doped fiber laser. The addition of a long section of passive fiber in the laser cavity makes the gain recovery faster than the self-pulsation dynamics, allowing only stable cw lasing. This scheme provides a simple and practical method for eliminating self-pulsations in fiber lasers at all pump...
متن کاملOn-chip green silica upconversion microlaser.
We demonstrate an erbium-doped silica toroidal microcavity upconversion laser on a silicon chip lasing in the visible spectral range (510-580 nm). The microcavity is pumped at 1458 nm by a tapered optical fiber coupled to the cavity and the lasing threshold is 690 muW. Lasing is observed at room temperature despite the high nonradiative relaxation rates of Er in pure silica that usually preclud...
متن کاملIntensity self-pulsations in (GaAI)As injection lasers operating in an external cavity
We present an experimental and theoretical study of a self-pulsing (GaAl)As injection laser operating in an external cavity. We have observed suppression of the self-pulsations when the external cavity is in the range 6 < L < 10 em. Suppression of self-pulsations can also be obtained by using a multimode graded index optical fiber as the external resonator. These results can be explained by a m...
متن کاملAnalysis and Design of Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers for Self-Sustained Pulsation Operation
The generation mechanism of self-sustained pulsation in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL’s) is analyzed with the influence of lateral loss effects, such as selffocusing, lateral diffraction loss, and spatial hole burning, taken into consideration. The condition for self-sustained pulsation is also derived in an analytical form. It is shown that the lateral loss effects have signif...
