    Mode transitions in distributed-feedback tapered master-oscillator power-amplifier
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2008) Radziunas, Mindaugas; Tronciu, Vasile Z.; Bandelow, Uwe; Lichtner, Mark; Spreemann, Martin; Wenzel, Hans
    Theoretical and experimental investigations have been carried out to study the spectral and spatial behavior of monolithically integrated distributed-feedback tapered master-oscillators power-amplifiers emitting around 973 nm. Introduction of self and cross heating effects and the analysis of longitudinal optical modes allows us to explain experimental results. The results show a good qualitative agreement between measured and calculated characteristics.

    Improving the stability of distributed-feedback tapered master-oscillator power-amplifiers
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2009) Tronciu, Vasile Z.; Lichtner, Mark; Radziunas, Mindaugas; Bandelow, U.; Wenzel, H.
    We report theoretical results on the wavelength stabilization in distributed-feedback master-oscillator power-amplifiers which are compact semiconductor laser devices capable of emitting a high brilliance beam at an optical power of several Watts. Based on a traveling wave equation model we calculate emitted optical power and spectral maps in dependence on the pump of the power amplifier. We show that a proper choice of the Bragg grating type and coupling coefficient allows to optimize the laser operation, such that for a wide range of injection currents the laser emits a high intensity continuous wave beam.

    Dynamics of micro-integrated external-cavity diode lasers: Simulations, analysis and experiments
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Radziunas, Mindaugas; Tronciu, Vasile Z.; Luvsandamdin, Erdenetsetseg; Kürbis, Christian; Wicht, Andreas; Wenzel, Hans
    This paper reports the results of numerical and experimental investigations of the dynamics of an external cavity diode laser device composed of a semiconductor laser and a distant Bragg grating, which provides an optical feedback. Due to the influence of the feedback, this system can operate at different dynamic regimes. The traveling wave model is used for simulations and analysis of the nonlinear dynamics in the considered laser device. Based on this model, a detailed analysis of the optical modes is performed, and the stability of the stationary states is discussed. It is shown, that the results obtained from the simulation and analysis of the device are in good agreement with experimental findings.
