چکیده
We analyze the effect of optical feedback on dynamics an external-cavity passively mode-locked surface-emitting laser operating in regime temporal localized structures. Depending ratio between cavity round trip time and delay, we show experimentally that acts as a solution selector either reinforces or hinders appearance one multistable harmonic arrangements pulses. Our theoretical analysis reproduces well experiment allows us to evidence asymmetrical resonance tongues due parity symmetry-breaking induced by gain depletion.

Self-localized structures in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers with external feedback.
In this paper, we analyze a model of broad area vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers subjected to frequency-selective optical feedback. In particular, we analyze the spatio-temporal regimes arising above threshold and the existence and dynamical properties of cavity solitons. We build the bifurcation diagram of stationary self-localized states, finding that branches of cavity solitons emerge...
متن کاملFemtosecond synchronously mode-locked vertical-external cavity surface-emitting laser.
The behavior of a room temperature synchronously mode-locked vertical-external cavity surface-emitting laser (VECSEL) operating at 980 nm is reported. The laser performance was found to be qualitatively the same for different pump pulse duration (3.6 ps and 70 fs). The pulse duration of the laser is limited by strong self-phase modulation to around 10-40 ps. By compressing the strongly chirped ...
متن کاملOperation of an optical in-well-pumped vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser.
We report the operation of an optical in-well-pumped vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser. The laser delivers 1 W at 855 nm and is pumped with a cost-effective fiber-coupled laser diode emitting at 806 nm. The laser modal gain is examined and ways of optimizing the system are investigated and discussed.
متن کاملEmbedded high resolution sensor based on optical feedback in Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser
This paper describes the fabrication of a novel type of pressure sensor based on optical feedback in a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL). The detection mechanism of the sensor is based on a displacement measurement through self-mixing interferometry in the laser cavity. The use of unpackaged VCSELs enables the embedding in thin flexible optical foils which results in an integrated ...
متن کاملVertical cavity surface emitting terahertz laser.
Vertical cavity surface emitting terahertz lasers can be realized in conventional semiconductor microcavities with embedded quantum wells in the strong coupling regime. The cavity is to be pumped optically at half the frequency of the 2p exciton state. Once a threshold population of 2p excitons is achieved, a stimulated terahertz transition populates the lower exciton-polariton branch, and the ...
