Highly optical feedback-tolerant single-mode monolithic coupled-cavity laser with a high-Q deformed square microcavity
We have proposed and experimentally demonstrated an external optical feedback insensitive coupled-cavity laser featuring a deformed square microcavity. By optimizing the microcavity structure, we effectively suppress higher-order whispering-gallery modes, enabling stable lasing in a high-quality (Q) coupled mode with excellent single-mode characteristics and low relative intensity noise. Through the synergistic effect of introducing high-Q lasing mode and increasing the photon number ratio within the microcavity, the deformed coupled-cavity laser achieves significantly enhanced feedback tolerance compared to the conventional design, maintaining stable single-mode operation even at a feedback intensity ratio of −11 dB. Furthermore, owing to the elimination of complex fabrication processes, this laser presents a promising solution for isolator-free light sources in future photonic integrated circuits.
