  • high power edge emitting laser diode with narrow vertical Beam Divergence
    Electronics Letters, 2011
    Co-Authors: Nikolay N Ledentsov, M V Maximov, Yu M Shernyakov, I I Novikov, Yu N Gordeev, V A Shchuki, A S Pausov, K Posilovic, T Kettle, D Imberg
    Abstract:

    10.5 W pulsed optical power with ultra-narrow vertical Beam Divergence (full width at full maximum ∼1.1°) is achieved at 20 A pulsed current in a 1060 nm laser diode with as-cleaved facets (100 µm-wide and 3500 µm-long cavity). The lasing occurs through the tilted wave mode excited in the GaAs substrate. Temperature-stable operation at low threshold current densities is demonstrated.

  • high power low Beam Divergence edge emitting semiconductor lasers with 1 and 2 d photonic bandgap crystal waveguide
    IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics, 2008
    Co-Authors: M V Maximov, Yu M Shernyakov, I I Novikov, Ya L Karachinsky, Yu N Gordeev, A Sharo, V A Shchuki, U Enami, D Ortmanarbiv, Nikolay N Ledentsov
    Abstract:

    We report on edge-emitting lasers based on the 1- and 2-D longitudinal photonic bandgap crystal concept. The longitudinal photonic bandgap crystal (PBC) design allows a robust and controllable extension of the fundamental mode over a thick multilayer waveguide to obtain a very large vertical mode spot size and a narrow vertical Beam Divergence.

  • wavelength stabilized tilted wave lasers with a narrow vertical Beam Divergence
    Semiconductor Science and Technology, 2008
    Co-Authors: I I Novikov, M V Maximov, Yu N Gordeev, V A Shchuki, Yu M Shernyakov, N A Kaluzhniy, S A Mintairov, V M Lantratov, A S Payusov, N N Ledentsov
    Abstract:

    We studied laser diodes grown in the tilted wave geometry with cleaved facets. In this approach a cavity with the gain medium is coupled to the second cavity, while the phase matching of the modes of the two cavities results in the wavelength stabilization. The mode separation can be controlled by the tilt angle of the leaky wave emission and the thickness of the coupled cavity. In one case a ~100 µm thick transparent substrate with a polished and dielectric-coated back surface was used as a coupled waveguide. In the second case, a 10 µm thick GaAs layer followed by an InGaP evanescent reflector was applied. We observed an increase in the lasing mode wavelength spacing and the width of the vertical far-field lobes from ~0.7° to 5° (full width at half maximum, FWHM) with the reduction of the thickness of the coupled cavity, in agreement with expectations. The FWHM numbers correspond to the diffraction limit for 100 and 10 µm thick coupled waveguides, respectively. A high temperature stability of the lasing wavelengths (0.1 nm K−1) was revealed. The results indicate that a new generation of wavelength-stabilized lasers for applications requiring ultrahigh brightness and wavelength stabilization can be developed.

  • high power single mode 1w continuous wave operation of longitudinal photonic band crystal lasers with a narrow vertical Beam Divergence
    Applied Physics Letters, 2008
    Co-Authors: I I Novikov, M V Maximov, Yu N Gordeev, Yu M Shernyakov, Yu Yu Kiselev, P S Kopev, A Sharon, R Duboc, D B Arbiv, U Benami
    Abstract:

    We report on 980nm InGaAs∕AlGaAs lasers with a broad waveguide based on a longitudinal photonic band crystal concept. The Beam Divergence measured as full width at half maximum was as narrow as 15W pulsed operation as limited by the current source. Significantly increased modal spot size enabled stable single lateral mode operation in broad ridge 10μm stripes. Maximum continuous wave power in single mode regime of 1.3W for 10μm wide stripe lasers was obtained, being limited by the catastrophic degradation of the unpassivated laser facets.

A total optical output power from broad area multimode devices was up to 6.3W and a maximum continuous wave single mode power from narrow stripe devices was 270mW.

  • photonic crystal diode laser array integrated with a phase shifter for narrow Beam Divergence
    IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, 2018
    Co-Authors: Xuya Zhou, Shaoyu Zhao, Yufei Wang, Wanhua Zheng
    Abstract:

    A narrow far-field edge-emitting photonic crystal diode laser array integrated with a phase shifter emitting in the 980-nm range has been designed and fabricated. A phase shifter structure is integrated on the chip to convert the out-of-phase mode to the in-phase mode. The real effective-refractive-index difference produced by the phase shifter is measured according to the comparison of the experiment and the simulation results. The effects of phase shifters with different lengths on the near and far fields are investigated. With the phase and the amplitude modulation of the phase shifter, the out-of-phase mode is successfully converted to the in-phase mode. Thus, a single-lobe far-field pattern is achieved in the lateral direction. The far-field Divergence angles of the lateral and vertical directions are 1.5° and 12°, respectively. Such a device is promising for narrow far-field emission with a high output power.

  • single mode holey vertical cavity surface emitting laser with ultra narrow Beam Divergence
    Laser Physics Letters, 2010
    Co-Authors: Anji Liu, W Che, W J Zhou, M X Xing, Wanhua Zheng
    Abstract:

    We demonstrated oxide-confined 850-nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) with a two-dimensional petal-shaped holey structure composed of several annular-sector-shaped holes. Four types of devices with different hole numbers were designed and fabricated. The measured results showed that the larger hole number was beneficial to purifying the lasing mode, and realizing the single-mode operation. The side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) exceeded 30 dB throughout the entire drive current. Mode selective loss mechanism was used to explain the single-mode characteristic. The single-mode devices possessed good Beam profiles, and the lowest Divergence angle was as narrow as 3.2 degrees (full width at half maximum), attributed to the graded index profile and the shallow etching in the top distributed Bragg reflector (DBR).

  • narrow vertical Beam Divergence laser diode based on longitudinal photonic band crystal waveguide
    Electronics Letters, 2003
    Co-Authors: M V Maximov, I I Novikov, V A Shchuki, Yu M Shernyakov, I Shamid, Nikolay N Ledentsov
    Abstract:

    Narrow (<5°) vertical Beam Divergence is realised in an InGaAs–AlGaAs double-quantum well edge-emitting laser diode. A multilayer GaAs–AlGaAs structure was used as a waveguide, acting as a longitudinal photonic band crystal and enabling stable fundamental mode operation. Longitudinal mode grouping effect is observed in the lasing spectrum and attributed to the transverse cavity-induced hole-burning effect.
