Abstract

We demonstrate multi-GHz rate picosecond pulse generation by passive mode- locking of an extended surface emitting diode laser which permits the incorporation of a saturable Bragg reflector mirror into a device, here designed for large aperture operation as a high power 980 nm InGaAs multiple quantum-well vertical cavity source? 2002 Optical Society of America OClS Codes: 120.5700,320.7120 Modelocking of lasers is a technique for generation of psec optical pulses. For potential applications ranging from high-speed chipscale optical clocks to nonlinear optical imaging in biology, passive mode-locking of a compact source such as a VCSEL is of interest. Keller and co-workers (I), in particular, have achieved high power psec pulse generation at multi-GHz repetition rates from optically pumped InGaAs MQW-based external cavity VCSELs, incorporating a semiconductor saturable Bragg absorber mirror (SESAM) for passive modelocking. Here we demonstrate the modelocking of a compact vertical extended cavity surface emitting diode laser (VECSEL) by using specific device design ideas.

一种皮秒被动锁模垂直扩展腔面发射二极管激光器

我们演示了多ghz速率皮秒脉冲产生的被动模式锁定扩展表面发射二极管激光器，允许结合一个饱和布拉格反射镜到一个设备，这里设计为大孔径工作作为高功率980 nm InGaAs多量子阱垂直腔源。激光的模型锁定是一种产生psec光脉冲的技术。对于从高速芯片级光学时钟到生物学中的非线性光学成像的潜在应用，紧凑源(如VCSEL)的无源模式锁定是人们感兴趣的。Keller和他的同事(I)已经利用光泵浦InGaAs mqw外腔vcsel实现了多ghz重复频率的高功率psec脉冲产生，并结合了用于被动模型锁定的半导体可饱和布拉格吸收镜(SESAM)。本文采用特定的器件设计思想，演示了紧凑型垂直扩展腔面发射二极管激光器(VECSEL)的模型锁定。
