Zusammenfassung:Effective manipulation of resonant mode, output power and modulation bandwidth of lasers are all of vital importance for practical application scenarios such as communication systems. We show that by breaking the parity-time (PT) symmetry, single mode operation lasing can be realized in an intrinsic multiple mode Fabry-Perot (FP) resonator. Two identical FP resonators are employed to establish a symmetric system and high output power can be achieved with lower fabrication difficulty and intracavity losses compared with ring resonators. The small-signal response and direct modulation of the PT-symmetric FP laser have also been demonstrated with electrical pumping. Our work opens new avenues for mode selection of high-performance FP lasers and provides a cost-effective candidate for practical applications such as communication systems.
