TL;DR: In this paper, a transverse Bragg resonance (TBR) grating was incorporated into a large-area laser to improve the efficiency compared to traditional index-guided laser.
Abstract: By incorporating a transverse Bragg grating into a large-area laser, the optical modes of the laser can be designed to improve the efficiency compared to traditional index-guided lasers. The resulting transverse Bragg resonance (TBR) waveguide can be designed to have a single lateral mode that is distributed throughout the entire width of the laser for efficient, stable, single lateral mode operation even at high powers. In addition, by designing the dispersion of the TBR modes, we can increase the modal gain at the desired lasing frequencies for further efficiency improvements. We have fabricated electrically pumped, semiconductor TBR lasers in the InP/InGaAsP material system to demonstrate the efficiency gains possible by the incorporation of such a transverse Bragg grating.By incorporating a transverse Bragg grating into a large-area laser, the optical modes of the laser can be designed to improve the efficiency compared to traditional index-guided lasers.

TL;DR: In this article, an amplitude equation is derived for a four-wave mixing geometry with nearly counter-propagating, mutually incoherent, non-iffracting pump beams, spatially overlapping in a photorefractive material with a nonlocal response.
Abstract: An amplitude equation is derived for a four-wave-mixing geometry with nearly counterpropagating, mutually incoherent, nondiffracting pump beams, spatially overlapping in a photorefractive material with a nonlocal response. This equation extends the earlier linear two-dimensional theory to the weakly nonlinear regime. The analysis also starts from a more complete equation for the photorefractive effect, which leads to the prediction of novel effects especially apparent in the nonlinear regime. Precise predictions for the spatiotemporal behavior of the grating amplitude in the nonlinear regime are presented. The range of validity of the amplitude equation is studied. The characteristics of the instability in the nonlinear regime are analyzed through a front-selection analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors observed a relaxation resonance frequency of hundreds of MHz in high-coherence Si/III-V laser, up to 5× less than commercial III-V lasers.
Abstract: We observe a relaxation resonance frequency of hundreds of MHz in high-coherence Si/III-V lasers, up to 5× less than commercial III-V lasers. This results in very noise frequency noise PSD of 720 Hz2/Hz above the relaxation resonance frequency due to the suppression of linewidth enhancement factor.

TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
Abstract: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality. Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

TL;DR: The semiconductor ZnO has gained substantial interest in the research community in part because of its large exciton binding energy (60meV) which could lead to lasing action based on exciton recombination even above room temperature.
Abstract: The semiconductor ZnO has gained substantial interest in the research community in part because of its large exciton binding energy (60meV) which could lead to lasing action based on exciton recombination even above room temperature. Even though research focusing on ZnO goes back many decades, the renewed interest is fueled by availability of high-quality substrates and reports of p-type conduction and ferromagnetic behavior when doped with transitions metals, both of which remain controversial. It is this renewed interest in ZnO which forms the basis of this review. As mentioned already, ZnO is not new to the semiconductor field, with studies of its lattice parameter dating back to 1935 by Bunn [Proc. Phys. Soc. London 47, 836 (1935)], studies of its vibrational properties with Raman scattering in 1966 by Damen et al. [Phys. Rev. 142, 570 (1966)], detailed optical studies in 1954 by Mollwo [Z. Angew. Phys. 6, 257 (1954)], and its growth by chemical-vapor transport in 1970 by Galli and Coker [Appl. Phys. ...

TL;DR: This month's guest columnist, Steve Bible, N7HPR, is completing a master’s degree in computer science at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, and his research area closely follows his interest in amateur radio.
Abstract: Spread Spectrum It’s not just for breakfast anymore! Don't blame me, the title is the work of this month's guest columnist, Steve Bible, N7HPR (n7hpr@tapr.org). While cruising the net recently, I noticed a sudden bump in the number of times Spread Spectrum (SS) techniques were mentioned in the amateur digital areas. While QEX has discussed SS in the past, we haven't touched on it in this forum. Steve was a frequent cogent contributor, so I asked him to give us some background. Steve enlisted in the Navy in 1977 and became a Data Systems Technician, a repairman of shipboard computer systems. In 1985 he was accepted into the Navy’s Enlisted Commissioning Program and attended the University of Utah where he studied computer science. Upon graduation in 1988 he was commissioned an Ensign and entered Nuclear Power School. His subsequent assignment was onboard the USS Georgia, a trident submarine stationed in Bangor, Washington. Today Steve is a Lieutenant and he is completing a master’s degree in computer science at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. His areas of interest are digital communications, amateur satellites, VHF/UHF contesting, and QRP. His research area closely follows his interest in amateur radio. His thesis topic is Multihop Packet Radio Routing Protocol Using Dynamic Power Control. Steve is also the AMSAT Area Coordinator for the Monterey Bay area. Here's Steve, I'll have some additional comments at the end.
