    A multi-mode delay differential equation model for lasers with optical feedback
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Radziunas, Mindaugas
    In this paper, we discuss the relations between the spatially-distributed traveling wave, Lang-Kobayashi, and a new multi-mode delay differential equation models for Fabry-Perot type semiconductor diode lasers with an external optical feedback. All these models govern the dynamics of the slowly varying complex amplitudes of the optical fields and carrier density. To compare the models, we calculate the cavity modes determined by the threshold carrier density and optical frequency of the steady states in all three models. These calculations show that the Lang-Kobayashi type model is in good agreement with the traveling wave model only for the small feedback regimes, whereas newly derived multi-mode delay differential equation model remains correct even at moderate and large optical feedback regimes.

    Beam combining scheme for high-power broad-area semiconductor lasers with Lyot-filtered reinjection: Modeling, simulations, and experiments
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Brée, Carsten; Raab, Volker; Montiel-Ponsoda, Joan; Garre-Werner, Guillermo; Staliunas, Kestutis; Bandelow, Uwe; Radziunas, Mindaugas
    A brightness- and power-scalable polarization beam combining scheme for high-power, broadarea semiconductor laser diodes is investigated numerically and experimentally. To achieve the beam combining, we employ Lyot-filtered optical reinjection from an external cavity, which forces lasing of the individual diodes on interleaved frequency combs with overlapping envelopes and enables a high optical coupling efficiency. Unlike conventional spectral beam combining schemes with diffraction gratings, the optical coupling efficiency is insensitive to thermal drifts of laser wavelengths. This scheme can be used for efficient coupling of a large number of laser diodes and paves the way towards using broad-area laser diode arrays for cost-efficient material processing, which requires high-brilliance emission and optical powers in the kW-regime.

    Tunable semiconductor ring laser with filtered optical feedback: Traveling wave description and experimental validation
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2017) Radziunas, Mindaugas; Khoder, Mulham; Tronciu, Vasile; Danckaert, Jan; Verschaffelt, Guy
    We study experimentally and theoretically a semiconductor ring laser with four filtering channels providing filtered delayed optical feedback. To describe and analyze the wavelength selection and tuning in this device, we exploit the traveling-wave model determining the evolution of optical fields and carrier density along the ring cavity and filtering branches. The numerical results agree with the experimental observations: we can reproduce the wavelength tuning, the multiple wavelength emission, and the wavelength switching speed measured in these devices. The traveling-wave model allows us to study in detail the effect of the different laser parameters and can be useful for designing the future devices.

    Numerical study of coherence of optical feedback in semiconductor laser dynamics
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Radziunas, Mindaugas; Little, Douglas J.; Kane, Deborah M.
    The nonlinear dynamics of semiconductor laser with coherent, as compared to incoherent, delayed optical feedback systems have been discussed and contrasted in prior research literature. Here, we report simulations of how the dynamics change as the coherence of the optical feedback is systematically varied from being coherent to incoherent. An increasing rate of phase disturbance is used to vary the coherence. An edge emitting, 830nm, Fabry Perot semiconductor laser with a long external cavity is simulated. Following this study, consideration of prior and future experimental studies should include evaluation of where on the continuum of partial coherence the delayed optical feedback sits. Partial coherence is a parameter that will affect the dynamics.
