10.1 nm range continuous wavelength-tunable vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers - Electronics Letters
نویسنده
چکیده
A record wide continuous wavelength tuning range of IO.lnm is demonstrated in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) with monolithically integrated thin-film metal heaters. Single longitudinal mode and single transverse mode are maintained throughout the tuning range. The thin-film heater can stand higher temperatures over a wider tuning range. It is also separated and electrically isolated from the laser, and can be applied to mnst existing VCSEL structures.

We report the demonstration of high-sensitivity intracavity laser absorption spectroscopy with multiple-quantum-well vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting semiconductor lasers (VECSEL's). A detection limit of 3 x 10(-10) cm (-1) has been achieved. The spectrotemporal dynamics of a VECSEL in the 1030-nm wavelength region has been studied. The laser was operating cw at room temperature, with ...
متن کاملShort-wavelength MEMS-tunable VCSELs.
We present electrically-injected MEMS-tunable vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers with emission wavelengths below 800 nm. Operation in this wavelength range, near the oxygen A-band from 760-780 nm, is attractive for absorption-based optical gas sensing. These fully-monolithic devices are based on an oxide-aperture AlGaAs epitaxial structure and incorporate a suspended dielectric Bragg mirro...
متن کاملSingle Transverse Mode VCSELs with High Output Power Emitting in the 980 nm Wavelength Range
In recent years, vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) operating in a single transverse mode have gained a growing interest in many optical fields like spectroscopy, imaging and sensing. Usually, to achieve single-mode emission in conventional oxideconfined VCSELs, the active diameter is typically scaled down to a few micrometers (≤ 4μm) which limits the optical output power. Further...

Building large crossbar switches for low-latency, highbandwidth interprocessor interconnects in multiprocessor systems is a difficult task because of the many practical limitations of digital electronics. This paper presents a first order design for a crossbar switch which utilizes wavelength tunable vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) technology and free space optics. Free space opt...
