Due to current crowding, the laser emission in medium size VCSELs starts at threshold in a linearly polarized ldquoflower moderdquo concentrated at the laser aperture periphery. Introducing a holding beam with orthogonal liner polarization we observe localized structure in the center of the device in the orthogonal polarization while the VCSEL keeps lasing in the same flower-mode. We support theoretically...
Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) have many advantages but their multi-mode transverse mode behaviour introduces problems for applications where output mode shape is important such as injection into fibre. Several groups world-wide have been investigating introducing photonic-crystal-hole patterns into the top-DBR to control the transverse modes. This has been observed to enhance the...
VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) diodes are the youngest members of the semiconductor laser diode family. The main target of our work is focused on the modally characterization and the measurement of the basic properties (threshold current, spectral range of the laser emission, the current tunability) of the three VCSEL diode based on GaSb matrix, which are emitting in the infrared region...
In this work I present a new semi-vectorial model for analysis of photonic-crystal VCSELs (PC-VCSELs), which is a combination of the plane-wave expansion method with the effective index approximation. It allows to consider vectorial properties of electromagnetic field in three-dimensional structures while being still much more numerically efficient than fully-vectorial methods. I show the simulation...
We review recent results on wafer fused long wavelength VCSELs emitting in the 1310 - 2000 nm range. This technology allows reaching fundamental mode output in excess of 4.5 mW at room temperature and close to 3 mW at 70degC for both the 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavebands-the highest values obtained so far. Emission wavelength can be tuned continuously with current with a tuning range as large as 15 nm...
The versatile transceiver in study for the Super Large Hadron Collider (SLHC) will have to endure severe radiation and temperature conditions while providing a high speed digital communication link to cover the experiment requirements. For this, characterization and model analysis of the electro-optic components (in particular the semiconductor laser), is of utmost importance as it will enable the...
A new vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser structure employing a dielectric photonic crystal mirror has been suggested and been numerically investigated. The new structure has a smaller threshold gain, a moderate strength of single-transverse-mode operation, a high quality of emission beam free from the scattering, and a potential of considerably increasing the single-mode output power.
We demonstrate first experimental evidence of polarization switching in Stranski-Krastanov (SK) and submonolayer (SML) quantum dot (QD) vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). In the case of a SMLQD VCSEL polarization switching is accompanied by polarization mode hopping and is associated with a change of linearly polarized light to elliptically polarized one, hence switching takes place...
In the present paper, the comprehensive self-consistent VCSEL physical model is used to analyse excitation of successive transverse cavity modes in oxide-confined (OC) vertical-cavity surface-emitting diode lasers (VCSELs) using the double intra-cavity-contacted 5-lambda-cavity double-quantum-well GaAs-based GaInNAs/GaAs OC VCSEL emitting the 1.3-mum radiation as a typical VCSEL example. As expected,...
