Q-switched Operation of a Coupled-Resonator
We report Q-switched operation from an electrically-injected monolithic coupledresonator structure which consists of an active cavity with InGaAs quantum wells optically coupled to a passive cavity. The passive cavity contains a bulk GaAs region which is reversebiased to provide variable absorption at the lasing wavelength of 990 nm. Cavity coupling is utilized to effect large changes in output...
متن کاملThe advantage of using a diode laser instead of a Q-switched laser in photoacoustic imaging of tissues
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging of biological tissues using laser diodes instead of conventional Q switched pulsed systems provides an attractive alternative for biomedical applications. However, the relatively low energy of laser diodes operating in the pulsed regime, results in generation of very weak acoustic waves, and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the detected signals. This problem can be ...
متن کاملHigh-power diode-pumped Q-switched intracavity frequency-doubled Nd:YVO4 laser with a sandwich-type resonator.
A compact and efficient diode-pumped acousto-optically Q -switched intracavity frequency-doubled Nd:Y VO(4)/KTP green laser is demonstrated. With 0.5-at. % Nd:Y VO(4), greater than 4.6 W of 532-nm average power at a repetition rate of 50 kHz was generated with 17-W pump power, corresponding to a conversion efficiency of 27%. At 10-30 kHz the pulse width is shorter than 10 ns, and the peak power...
متن کاملExtended ultrahigh-Q-cavity diode laser.
We report on a study of a 698 nm extended cavity semiconductor laser with intracavity narrowband optical feedback from a whispering gallery mode resonator. This laser comprises an ultrahigh-Q (>10(10)) resonator supporting stimulated Rayleigh scattering, a diffraction grating wavelength preselector, and a reflective semiconductor amplifier. Single longitudinal mode lasing is characterized with ...
متن کاملMultiple-wavelength operation of a laser-diode array coupled to an external cavity.
The ability to generate, tune, and modulate multiple wavelengths is useful in various applications. Recent work has focused on wavelength-divisionmultiplexed (WDM) communications systems, but multiple-wavelength sources have potential applications in differential spectroscopy and lidar' and in spectroscopic 2' 3 and holographic 4' 5 implementations of optical data storage. Bulk,6'7 integrated,8...
