    Compact, Watt-class 785 nm dual-wavelength master oscillator power amplifiers
    (Bristol ; Philadelphia, PA : IOP Publishing Ltd., 2022) Müller, André; Maiwald, Martin; Sumpf, Bernd
    785 nm micro-integrated, dual-wavelength master oscillator power amplifiers with a footprint of 5 mm × 25 mm are presented. They are based on Y-branch distributed Bragg reflector ridge waveguide diode lasers and anti-reflection coated tapered amplifiers. In order to reduce the impact of potential optical feedback, devices with master oscillator front facet reflectivities of 5% and 30% as well as with an integrated miniaturized optical isolator have been realized. A comparison up to 1 W shows narrowband dual wavelength laser emission with a spectral distance of 0.6 nm (10 cm−1) and individual spectral widths <20 pm. As expected, a higher front facet reflectivity leads to a significant reduction of feedback related mode hops. Longitudinal modes corresponding to the master oscillator resonator length remain within spectral windows <0.15 nm (3 cm−1), suitable for applications such as Raman spectroscopy and especially shifted excitation Raman difference spectroscopy. Integrating a compact 30 dB optical isolator completely eliminates the observed optical feedback effects. Lateral beam propagation ratios of 1.2 (1/e2) enable easy beam shaping and fiber coupling. Outside of the experimental comparison, the developed MOPAs provide up to 2.7 W of optical output power available for applications.

    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.
