Spatial filtering in edge-emitting lasers by intracavity chirped photonic crystals

Abstract: In this work, we report an experimental and numerical study of the intracavity spatial filtering in edge-emitting lasers using a chirped photonic crystal (PhC) as the filtering element in the near-field domain. We provide a comprehensive analysis of the near-field PhC filtering scheme and compare it to conventional spatial filtering using a variable width slit in the far-field domain. Using a two-dimensional chirped PhC as a spatial filter, we experimentally demonstrate a brightness enhancement by a factor of … Show more

“…The original work performed during my PhD along four years resulted in four published papers [Ahm18,Gaw20,Med20,Med21], the first one which I coauthor as a collaborator, and other three where I am the first author, and seven conference papers [Ahm18-2, Bot19, Bot19-2, Bot20, Med18, Med19, Med20 -2]. Therefore, this PhD presents the results published on the four papers and seven conference proceedings, and it is organized as follows:…”

“…That makes them easy to fabricate using direct laser write approaches, mainly in glass, and various geometries have been realized [25][26][27][28][29][30] . Some variations have been tested in a solid-state diode pump microchip laser 31 and electrically pumped broad-edge emitting cavity lasers [32][33][34] . In all cases, total Brightness increase has been observed by order of multiple times.…”

“…Photonic crystal (PhC) spatial filters are a potential solution to suppress multimode operations in microcavity semiconductor surface-emitting lasers, increasing the output beam spatial quality and its brightness [ 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 ]. The other alternative is photonic crystal structures integrated with the gain medium, as in photonic crystal surface-emitting lasers (PCSELs) [ 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 ]. PCSELs are well-known for their ability to generate a high power output with an impressive beam quality, particularly in single-mode operation, which is a major improvement compared to conventional surface-emitting lasers.…”
