Abstract

We present a monolithically integrated coupled cavity vertical cavity surface emitting laser or BiVCSEL: this two-terminal electrically injected device exhibits stable laser emission at two design wavelengths simultaneously. The coupling between the two monolithically grown cavities leads to two distinct Fabry-Perot modes whose separation and localization are designed in such a way that the interaction between the two modes leads to dual laser emission. Simultaneous lasing at 925 nm and 955 nm is achieved experimentally with a threshold for dual lasing of 4 kA/cm(2) and dual lasing is stable over 6 times threshold.

Laser

A laser is a device that emits light through a process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation. The word laser is an anacronym that originated as an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. The first laser was built in 1960 by Theodore Maiman at Hughes Research Laboratories, based on theoretical work by Charles H. Townes and Arthur Leonard Schawlow. A laser differs from other sources of light in that it emits light that is coherent.

Maser

A maser (ˈmeɪzər; acronym of microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) is a device that produces coherent electromagnetic waves (i.e. microwaves), through amplification by stimulated emission. The first maser was built by Charles H. Townes, James P. Gordon, and Herbert J. Zeiger at Columbia University in 1953. Townes, Nikolay Basov and Alexander Prokhorov were awarded the 1964 Nobel Prize in Physics for theoretical work leading to the maser.

Laser diode

A laser diode (LD, also injection laser diode or ILD, or diode laser) is a semiconductor device similar to a light-emitting diode in which a diode pumped directly with electrical current can create lasing conditions at the diode's junction. Driven by voltage, the doped p–n-transition allows for recombination of an electron with a hole. Due to the drop of the electron from a higher energy level to a lower one, radiation, in the form of an emitted photon is generated. This is spontaneous emission.
