Tunable microwave generation of a monolithic dual-wavelength distributed feedback laser.
The dynamic behavior of a monolithic dual-wavelength distributed feedback laser was fully investigated and mapped. The combination of different driving currents for master and slave lasers can generate a wide range of different operational modes, from single mode, period 1 to chaos. Both the optical and microwave spectrum were recorded and analyzed. The detected single mode signal can continuou...
متن کاملHeterogeneously integrated III-V/silicon dual-mode distributed feedback laser array for terahertz generation.
We demonstrate an integrated distributed feedback (DFB) laser array as a dual-wavelength source for narrowband terahertz (THz) generation. The laser array is composed of four heterogeneously integrated III-V-on-silicon DFB lasers with different lengths enabling dual-mode lasing tolerant to process variations, bias fluctuations, and ambient temperature variations. By optical heterodyning the two...
متن کاملSimple Terahertz Continuous-wave Applications based on a Compact Dual Mode Laser
We demonstrated simple terahertz applications using a coherent homodyne continuous-wave (CW) terahertz (THz) system. The system was developed based on a compact semiconductor dual-mode laser diode (DML). The DML was used for an optical beat source to generate a THz CW. The two lasing modes from the DML are well correlated and generate a high-purity THz CW signal. The system was applied to measu...
متن کاملBroadly tunable monolithic room-temperature terahertz quantum cascade laser sources.
Electrically pumped room-temperature semiconductor sources of tunable terahertz radiation in 1-5 THz spectral range are highly desired to enable compact instrumentation for THz sensing and spectroscopy. Quantum cascade lasers with intra-cavity difference-frequency generation are currently the only room-temperature electrically pumped semiconductor sources that can operate in the entire 1-5 THz ...
متن کاملSemiconductor lasers: Monolithic terahertz source
Twisted relativistic light pulses with a strong torque and an ultrahigh orbital angular momentum density can in principle be created by shining light pulses onto a specially design thin metal foil, report scientists in China. Theoretical analysis and simulations by Yin Shi and co-workers at the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics predict that when intense pulses with planar wavefron...
