We report the fabrication and operation of a Cr:ZnSe buried channel waveguide laser operating at 2500 nm with a linewidth of 10 nm and a maximum power output of 1.7 W. Ultrafast laser inscription is used to fabricate the depressed cladding waveguide in a polycrystalline Cr:ZnSe sample. A thermal model is developed and predicts performance degradation at higher pump levels due to thermal quenchi...

Array waveguide grating(AWG) is a kind of role scattered light passive device base on the plane wave circuit technology. A broadband laser beam can be divided into multibeam laser light by wavelength. In this paper, the characteristics of AWG are used and based on previous studies. Using an array waveguide grating fiber Bragg grating (FBG) demodulation method, and the mathematical model of FBG ...

We studied the influence of focused ion beam milling ridge waveguides on lasing parameters edge-emitting lasers, based a separate confinement double heterostructure. It is shown that there are three degrees influence, according to etching depth: modification waveguide properties only, decrease in efficiency without changing threshold current, and simultaneous deterioration current with signific...

We present the discrete analog of Snell’s refraction law at the interface between two dissimilar waveguide arrays. Additionally, reflection and transmission coefficients for the Bloch waves are derived analytically. The theoretical findings were confirmed by analyzing the evolution of light in femtosecond laser written waveguide arrays.

A 4-channel multi-wavelength laser integrated on a silicon waveguide circuit is realized. Waveguide-coupled output powers of 2mW and a side mode suppression ratio of more than 45dB for all channels is realized. OCIS codes: (250.0250) Integrated optics; (250.5300) Photonic integrated circuits; (250.5960) Semiconductor lasers.

We present the experimental demonstration of a novel class of hybrid III-V-on-silicon microlasers. We show that by coupling a silicon cavity to a III-V waveguide, the interaction between the propagating mode in the III-V waveguide and the cavity mode in the silicon resonator results in high, narrowband reflection back into the III-V waveguide, forming a so-called resonant mirror. By combining t...

Hollow-sapphire and metal-dielectric-coated hollow-glass waveguides have been used to deliver CO(2) laser power for industrial laser applications. The transmission, bending loss, and output-beam properties of these waveguides are described. The bore sizes of the hollow-sapphire waveguides were 1070 and 790 μm, and the hollow-glass waveguide had a bore of 700 μm. The waveguides ranged in length ...
