Influence of Band-Edge Frequency Non-Uniformity in Ultra-Large-Area Photonic-Crystal Surface-Emitting Lasers
Photonic-crystal surface-emitting lasers (PCSELs), which are based on a two-dimensional (2D) optical resonance at a band edge of a photonic band structure, feature ultra-large-area single-mode lasing oscillation with scalable output power. In this paper, we theoretically investigate the influence of the band-edge frequency non-uniformity in ultra-large-area PCSELs, which can be caused by carrier-induced or temperature-induced refractive-index change during operation. First, we perform a perturbation analysis to derive an analytical condition to maintain single-mode lasing in the presence of the band-edge frequency non-uniformity, and reveal that it is important to increase not only the threshold gain difference but also the frequency difference between the fundamental mode and higher-order modes. Next, we perform numerical simulations on lasing characteristics of 3-mm-diameter PCSELs with non-uniform band-edge frequency distributions, and investigate the robust design against gradually changed frequency distributions or random frequency fluctuations.
期刊介绍:
Papers published in the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics fall within the broad field of science and technology of quantum electronics of a device, subsystem, or system-oriented nature. Each issue is devoted to a specific topic within this broad spectrum. Announcements of the topical areas planned for future issues, along with deadlines for receipt of manuscripts, are published in this Journal and in the IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics. Generally, the scope of manuscripts appropriate to this Journal is the same as that for the IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics. Manuscripts are published that report original theoretical and/or experimental research results that advance the scientific and technological base of quantum electronics devices, systems, or applications. The Journal is dedicated toward publishing research results that advance the state of the art or add to the understanding of the generation, amplification, modulation, detection, waveguiding, or propagation characteristics of coherent electromagnetic radiation having sub-millimeter and shorter wavelengths. In order to be suitable for publication in this Journal, the content of manuscripts concerned with subject-related research must have a potential impact on advancing the technological base of quantum electronic devices, systems, and/or applications. Potential authors of subject-related research have the responsibility of pointing out this potential impact. System-oriented manuscripts must be concerned with systems that perform a function previously unavailable or that outperform previously established systems that did not use quantum electronic components or concepts. Tutorial and review papers are by invitation only.
