  4. Outline - Introduction to High Power VECSELs - Single Chip Characteristics - T-Cavity Configuration - Sum Frequency Generation - Difference Frequency Generation - Concluding Remarks

  5. Design of High Power VECSEL • Approach • Large number of QWs with Resonant Periodic Gain • Active region close to effective heat sink • Thermal management by substrate removal, heat spreader approach • InGaAs/GaAs /GaAsP strained compensated MQW • Resonant periodic gain (RPG) MQW • DBR on Chip • Barrier Optical Pumping

  6. Linear Cavity Configuration - High power and high beam quality (TEM00) - Wavelength tolerant barrier pumping - Power scaling by increased beam diameter - Access to intracavity radiation OC Pump Laser VECSEL Chip CVD

  7. VECSEL History and Progress

  8. Fundamental Performance M2 < 1.4 M2 < 1.3 980nm VECSEL 1180nm VECSEL

  9. T-Cavity Configuration • T-cavity Two-chip VECSEL: • TEM00, narrow linewidth for each wavelength • Ease of wavelength tuning • High intracavity intensity • Chip 1: P-Polarized Cavity • Pump Spot Diameter ~ 500um • 1mm thick BF included in Cavity • Chip 2: S-Polarized Cavity • Pump Spot Diameter ~ 500um • 2mm thick BF included in Cavity

  10. Combined Output • Output measured for each cavity individually. • Then the output was measured for the combined operation.

  11. Independent Tuning of Each Wavelength

  12. Output Profiles of Collinear Operation A) B) C) • Measured outputs beam profiles • P-polarized beam profile. • S-polarized beam profile. • c) Combined S and P output beam profile.

  13. T-Cavity Configuration Summary Total Output is Sum of Both Cavities Individual Tuning of Each Wavelength Cavity Design Excellent Beam Overlap is Demonstrated P-Pol S-Pol Combined

  14. SFG and DFG

  15. Type II SFG in T-Cavity • Combine two VECSEL chips with similar 980nm outputs • Tunable type II blue

  16. Type II Green Output Can mix 1180nm and 980nm VECSEL chips to generate green outputs

  17. Multiple Color Generation Only blue output Only yellow output Combined blue and green outputs = cyan laser Only green output

  18. ETHz Λ THz by Type II DFG α x Λx Esignal Epump 45o PPLN with tilted poling period for perpendicular THz extraction Fundamental separation ~3nm for ~1 THz output

  19. Mid-IR by Type II DFG Fundamentals at ~968nm and ~1179nm produced output at ~5400nm Same configuration for green SFG yields mid-IR via DFG

  20. Concluding Remarks • Can be a viable and affordable alternative for widely tunable Visible and IR high- power sources • VECSELs offer a flexible platform for a wide range of fundamental lasing wavelengths • Intracavity access can allow for new operating features • Two-chip T-cavity can provide efficient SFG and DFG pulsed operation
