Vertical 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 ...
متن کاملInvestigating the Polarization Properties of Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers
Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are a new type of semiconductor laser that have emerged as an economical alternative to conventional edge-emitting lasers. Anisotropies within these lasers, such as birefringence and dichroism, cause their optical output to favor one of two orthogonal linear polarizations; however, other optical outputs such as elliptical polarization and polariz...
متن کاملPolarization switching control in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers
Orthogonal polarizations within vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers ~VCSEL! lase at slightly different wavelengths. We describe the use of optical feedback to confine polarization variations to reproducible injection currents. An external cavity is used to select specific wavelengths that reflect back into the VCSEL, hence, changing the cavity Q for the different polarization states. With t...
متن کاملPolarization resolved intensity noise in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers
We report explicit analytical and numerical results for the polarization resolved intensity noise of verticalcavity surface-emitting lasers operating in the fundamental transverse mode. We describe the fluctuations of the linear and circular polarization components of linearly polarized states on both sides of a nonthermal polarization switching. Our description is valid for small and large bir...
متن کاملPolarization correlations in pulsed, vertical cavity, surface-emitting lasers.
We have examined noise behavior and polarization correlations in the output of a pulsed, multitransverse-mode, vertical-cavity, surface-emitting laser (VCSEL). We have measured the output of the laser simultaneously in two orthogonal, linear polarizations as a function of drive current for pulse widths of 3 ns, 10 ns, and 30 ns. We present joint probability distributions for the number of detec...
