Self-mixing interferometry in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers for nanomechanical cantilever sensing

Interconnection of a two-dimensional array of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers to a receiver array by means of a fiber image guide.

The implementation of a 10-channel parallel optical interconnect consisting of a two-dimensional array of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers, a 1.35-m fiber image guide, and a metal-semiconductor-metal receiver array is described. Transmission rates of 250 Mbits/s per channel are demonstrated with an optical cross talk of less than -27 dB and a loss of -3 dB. Coupling issues associated wit...

High Power Pulsed Intra-Cavity Frequency Doubled Vertical Extended Cavity Blue Laser Arrays

Electrically pumped vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) can produce hundreds of mW's of 976 nm CW output in a TEM00 mode when operated with an external cavity configuration. During pulsed operation (<50ns) a significant increase in the peak power is observed, compared to CW operation. High peak powers makes these lasers very well suited for intra-cavity frequency doubling with a no...

Effect of variation of specifications of quantum well and contact length on performance of InP-based Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL)

Abstract: In this study, the effects of variation of thickness and the number of quantumwells as well as the contact length were investigated. In this paper, a vertical cavity surfaceemitting laser was simulated using of software based on finite element method. Thenumber of quantum wells was changed from 3 to 9 and the results which are related tooutput power, resonance ...

STSM report – Aleksandar Danicic

VCSEL arrays in self-interferometry arrangement have the potential to be low cost imaging tool for blood perfusion . The goal of the Action BM1205 is to develop an ultra-compact sensing technology based on the selfmixing interferometer that uses Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) arrays both for the emission and the detection of light. This technique has high sensitivity, high signa...
