Complex wave dynamics in microlasers and nonlocal maps. Abstract The optical implementation of complex network is considered for laser cavity formed by active mirrors deposited on the surface of plane-parallel slice, ellipsoidal microball , whose eccentricity is close to 0.5 and equivalent optical circuit, containing amplifying and absorbing media in Fourier-conjugated planes. In this types of ...

Using a 10.5-GHz resonant electro-optic modulator placed inside a resonant optical cavity, we generated an optical frequency comb with a span wider than 3 THz. The optical resonator consists of three mirrors, with the output coupler being a thin Fabry-Perot cavity with a free spectral range of 2 THz and a finesse of 400. Tuning this filter cavity onto resonance with a particular high-order side...

The spatial coherence of laser sources has limited their application to parallel imaging and projection due to coherent artifacts, such as speckle. In contrast, traditional incoherent light sources, such as thermal sources or light emitting diodes (LEDs), provide relatively low power per independent spatial mode. Here, we present a chip-scale, electrically pumped semiconductor laser based on a ...

We present a numerical investigation of the ray dynamics in a paraxial optical cavity when a ray-splitting mechanism is present. The cavity is a conventional two-mirror stable resonator and the ray splitting is achieved by inserting an optical beam splitter perpendicular to the cavity axis. We show that depending on the position of the beam splitter the optical resonator can become unstable and...

The InnoSlab laser has the advantages of excellent thermal management and high overlapping efficiency. In this work, we report an with efficiency at 1319 nm end-pumped 0.6at.% Nd:YAG by 808 nm. hybrid stable–unstable resonator was adopted. For a cavity length 17.9 mm absorbed pumped power 423.5 W, output 81 W obtained T = 5%, exhibiting optical conversion 19.13% slope 29.80%.

We analyze the effect of a highly dispersive element placed inside a modulated optical cavity on the frequency and amplitude of the modulation to determine the conditions for cavity self-stabilization and enhanced gyroscopic sensitivity. Hence, YZ model cavity rotation or instability by an arbitrary AM/FM modulation, and the dispersive element as a phase and amplitude filter. We find that anoma...

Intra-cavity binary phase elements are incorporated into a -switched Nd : YAG laser resonator to obtain efficient high-order transverse mode selection. The resonator configuration is analyzed using the propagation-matrix diagonalization method and the Fox–Li algorithm, and a simple model for predicting the relative output powers of the selected modes is developed. The predicted results are veri...
