Unidirectional laterally gain-coupled distributed feedback ring laser diodes

The authors report the development of laterally gain-coupled ring lasers that exhibit uni-directional and singlemode operation. Counter- propagating modes in the ring are suppressed such that 83% of the light output comes from only one propagation direction. The mode stability of the ring laser is s...

Zusammenfassung:The authors report the development of laterally gain-coupled ring lasers that exhibit uni-directional and singlemode operation. Counter- propagating modes in the ring are suppressed such that 83% of the light output comes from only one propagation direction. The mode stability of the ring laser is significantly improved through the introduction of a gain-coupled distributed feedback mechanism.
