Journal ArticleDOI
A vertical monolithic combination of an InGaAsP/InP laser and a heterojunction bipolar transistor
TL;DR: In this article, a DH InGaAsP/InP mesa laser and an InGaP/INP mass-transport laser were successfully put together with a bipolar transistor in a vertical configuration, achieving a threshold current as low as 17 mA and output power of over 30 mW.
Journal ArticleDOI
Semiclassical theory of noise in multielement semiconductor lasers
R. Lang,Amnon Yariv +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a derivation of the noise spectra of multielement semiconductor lasers using a set of Langevin sources which drive a system of small-signal field equations.
Book ChapterDOI
Chapter 2 High-Frequency Current Modulation of Semiconductor Injection Lasers
Kam Y. Lau,Amnon Yariv +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the basic background on direct modulation characteristics of semiconductor injection lasers of various structures, explains their various modes of behavior in physical terms, and explores the ultimate limitations in attaining the ever-increasing modulation bandwidths.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conversion of optical path length to frequency by an interferometer using photorefractive oscillation
TL;DR: Frequency detuning effects in photorefractive oscillators are used in a new type of (passive) interferometry which converts optical path length changes to frequency shifts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear vectorial two-beam coupling and forward four-wave mixing in photorefractive materials.
TL;DR: An exact solution of a nonlinear vector analysis of two-beam coupling and forward four-wave mixing in photorefractive media is presented.
