In this paper, we investigate the effect of roughness on the reflectivity of laser facets. Given that mask pixel size is one of the possible sources of roughness and that high-resolution e-beam mask fabrication is costly, it is important to find the mask resolution required so that the fabricated laser performance is not significantly affected. To assess the importance of the roughness on the performance of our modeled devices, we calculate the light versus current (LI) characteristics, the coupling to higher order modes and the far-field patterns of etched-facet laser diodes with varying roughness.","PeriodicalId":22169,"journal":{"name":"Summaries of papers presented at the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88812711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We demonstrate for the first time that high-power and high-repetition-rate femtosecond fiber lasers can be constructed that require only simple broad-area diode-array pump lasers.

Reliable femtosecond pulse operation is ensured by exploiting nonlinear polarization evolution for steady-state pulse shaping in environmentally stable cavity. Furthermore the use of chirped Bragg gratings allows the extension of the operation range of these types of laser into the picosecond regime.","PeriodicalId":22169,"journal":{"name":"Summaries of papers presented at the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84748401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relatively weak attenuation of diffuse light as compared to ballistic light makes its use attractive for medical and biological imaging. A number of techniques have been developed to exploit diffuse light in imaging. These include imaging with diffuse photon density waves and the reconstruction from time-resolved transmission measurements. We have attempted to utilize acousto-optic modulation of diffuse light for imaging. We point out the consequences of the incoherent nature of the signal for tomographic imaging and demonstrate imaging of absorbing structures embedded within a strongly scattering medium with a resolution of approximately 2 mm.
