Phase-locked array of antiguided lasers with monolithic spatial filter
Luke J. Mawst,Dan Botez,Thomas Roth,William W Simmons,G. Peterson,M. Jansen,Jaroslava Zitkova Wilcox,J.J. Yang +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a phase-locked array with monolithically integrated diffractive spatial filters is proposed and demonstrated to achieve in-phase-mode oscillation with over twice threshold and far-field patterns with as much as 75% of the energy in the main lobe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface‐emitting GaAlAs/GaAs linear laser arrays with etched mirrors
TL;DR: In this paper, a surface-emitting GaAlAs/GaAs linear laser arrays are fabricated using the ion milling technique using a cleaved device and low threshold current and differential quantum efficiency comparable to those of the cleaved devices are obtained.
Patent
Ion milling method
TL;DR: An ion milling method for mass producing microscopic surface features using a wide variety of media that includes semiconductors, metals, and glasses was proposed in this article, where vertical and 45 degree mirrors are formed simultaneously in semiconductor laser diodes in order to produce monolithic two dimensional arrays of surface emitting lasers.
Patent
Semiconductor laser array having high power and high beam quality
Dan Botez,Michael Jansen,Luke J. Mawst,G. Peterson,William W Simmons,Jaroslava Zitkova Wilcox,J.J. Yang +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a laterally unguided diffraction region in which light from a set of waveguides is re-imaged in accordance with the Talbot effect is used to provide a spatial filtering effect to select a desired array mode.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design considerations for diffraction coupled arrays with monolithically integrated self‐imaging cavities
Jaroslava Zitkova Wilcox,William W Simmons,Dan Botez,M. Jansen,Luke J. Mawst,G. Peterson,T. J. Wilcox,Jane J. Yang +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, conditions for stabilization of in-phase or out-of-phase array eigenmodes in diffraction coupled diode laser arrays are derived and applied to several array architectures.
