This work also reports on a different regime of operation, when the SLOPO is slightly frequency detuned from exact by-3 division by changing the PPLN phase-matching temperature. When /spl delta/ is equal or multiple of the cavity free spectral range /spl Delta//spl nu//sub s/, cascade injection-locking of many resonant mode pairs (up to 5-6) has been observed by spectral analysis of the SPLOPO output, as a premise to a cw mode-locked OPO operation. Such a simultaneous multipair stable oscillation is precluded in a conventional OPO due to gain saturation. The maximum number of phase-locked pairs is limited by the pumping power. The potential of the device as a generator of multipartite quantum entangled pairs, as well as in 3-phase-encoded spiral wave transverse pattern formation are discussed.","PeriodicalId":179542,"journal":{"name":"EQEC '05.

The devices are oxide-confined top-emitters lasing at around 780 nm. By controlling the device temperature the above mentioned detuning can be changed and thus the length scales of the patterns. For decreasing temperatures the divergence angle of the emission (the transverse wave number) increases and fewer modes are selected resulting in a less complex pattern. This paper studies these relationships quantitatively and considers how to extract the value of the detuning experimentally. In the theory, phase lag in the spacer layer as well as the one in the Bragg reflector is taken into account. Additionally, this study looks into the polarization properties of the emission.","PeriodicalId":179542,"journal":{"name":"EQEC '05.
