Analysis and Control of Optical Modes in VCSELs and VCSEL-Arrays

In this thesis, we studied the modal structure and the polarization of the optical field emitted by vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) emitting in the short- and long-wavelength domains (0.9-1.3μm). Our study concerns two types of components: ...

Engineering the Lateral Optical Guiding in Gallium Nitride-Based Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser Cavities to Reach the Lowest Threshold Gain

Gatien Cosendey, Nicolas Grandjean, Ehsan Hashemi

In order to improve the current injection in GaN-based blue vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) a dielectric aperture is generally used in combination with an indium-tin-oxide (ITO) layer on the top intracavity p-contact layer. The most straig ...

Optical injection locking of polarization modes and spatial modes in single-aperture VCSELs and VCSEL arrays emitting at 1.3 mu m

Elyahou Kapon, Alexei Sirbu, Vladimir Iakovlev, Grigore Suruceanu, Alexandru Mereuta, Andrei Caliman, Elodie Lamothe, Christopher Michael Long

We report the injection locking of specific spatial modes and polarization modes of 1.3 mu m wavelength vertical surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) in single-aperture devices and phase-coupled arrays. The optical injection is realized using a master laser (M ...

Polarization mode structure in long-wavelength wafer-fused vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers

Elyahou Kapon, Alexei Sirbu, Vladimir Iakovlev, Grigore Suruceanu, Alexandru Mereuta, Andrei Caliman, Nicolas Volet

Applications of long-wavelength (lambda > 1 mu m) vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) generally require close control over wavelength and polarization of the emitted light. In most cases, single mode and polarization stable lasing is desired. ...

Application of Adaptive Optics to Focusing and Imaging

Daniel Iwaniuk

Adaptive optics is used to abate aberrations with a wavefront correction. It is widely used in astronomy and is starting to expand into applications of laser focusing and imaging with high numerical apertures, e.g. microscopy. The physical background of fo ...
