    Improvement of output beam quality in broad area lasers with off-axis feedback
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2011) Lichtner, Mark; Tronciu, Vasile; Vladimirov, Andrej G.
    We report a method to improve the beam quality of broad area lasers by using a V-shaped external cavity formed by two off-axis feedback mirrors that allow to select a single transverse mode with the intensity modulated in the transverse direction. We find that in the case when one of the two feedback mirrors is absent a spontaneous formation of self-induced transverse population grating leading to a reduction of the lasing threshold is observed. Most favorable conditions for stabilization of single transverse supermode and creation of a high power and high brightness plane wave traveling in the extended cavity are obtained for equal re ectivities of the two external reflectors.

    Spatial "rocking" for improving the spatial quality of the beam of broad area semiconductor lasers
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2012) Radziunas, Mindaugas; Staliunas, Kestutis
    The spatial ``rocking'' is a dynamical effect converting a phase-invariant oscillatory system into a phase-bistable one, where the average phase of the system locks to one of two values differing by pi. We demonstrate theoretically the spatial rocking in experimentally accessible and practically relevant systems -- the broad area semiconductor lasers. By numerical integration of the laser model equations we show the phase bistability of the optical fields and explore the bistability area in parameter space. We also predict the spatial patterns, such as phase domain walls and phase solitons, which are characteristic for the phase-bistable spatially extended pattern forming systems.
