Vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL)-by-VCSEL optical injection locking to obtain high cutoff frequencies of 1.3-mu m VCSELs is demonstrated. A detailed physical explanation of the underlying mechanism is presented. VCSELs from the same wafer hav ...
Optical fiber materials with broad-band gain in the visible or in the telecommunication window are of great interest for optical communication or the biomedical domain in order to built integrated tunable lasers, amplifiers, ultra-short pulse lasers, or br ...
This thesis addresses general aspects of the operation of a coupled-cavity vertical surface-emitting laser (CC-VCSEL) which consists of two active cavities optically coupled and independently electrically pumped. The first two chapters of the thesis deal w ...
It was about 125 years ago that the light bulb was commercialized by Thomas Edison. No doubt a brilliant invention at the time, today its low power conversion efficiency is one of the reasons why lighting in the western world has such high energy consumpti ...
In the ever-growing world of optical telecommunications. Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (SOAs) are called to play an increasingly important role. Their attractive performances both in the linear and non-linear regime along with their reduced cost and sma ...
The purpose of this paper is to present a detailed characterization of a dual-wavelength VCSEL - the BiVCSEL. This device consists of two active optical cavities, which share a coupling mirror and can be independently electrically pumped. We present the ou ...
We observe a room-temperature low-threshold transition to a coherent polariton state in bulk GaN microcavities in the strong-coupling regime. Nonresonant pulsed optical pumping produces rapid thermalization and yields a clear emission threshold of 1 mW, co ...
We demonstrate an electrically-tuned nematic liquid crystal (LC) infiltrated photonic crystal (PC) laser. The PC laser is encased between two transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) glass plates which serve as the modulating electrodes and also define the LC ce ...
Experimental demonstration of optical speedup at transparency (OSAT) has been performed on a 1 mm long semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA). OSAT is a recently proposed scheme that decreases the recovery time of an SOA while maintaining the available gai ...
We report on the application of double-clad doped fiber amplifiers for coherent space communication systems using a master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) design at 1.06 μm. The master oscillator is either a single-frequency Nd:YAG solid-state laser or a ...
