Abstract:Coherent coupling of 2 Â 1 photonic crystal (PhC) vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) arrays is studied. It is found that the relative phase between lasing defects, also known as the phase angle of the complex degree of coherence, varies with injection current. The amplitude of the complex degree of coherence also depends on current. Additionally, it is shown that the magnitude of the complex degree of coherence between defects is maximized near in-phase and out-of-phase conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
