摘要: A broadband thermal optical limiter disposed between a laser oscillator and laser amplifier system for protecting optical components in the laser oscillator from damage due to amplified optical feedback from the laser amplifier system at all near ultraviolet, visible and near infrared wavelengths is disclosed. The thermal optical limiter comprises: a first lens for focusing the amplified optical feedback to a focal point on an optical axis; a flowing dye cell disposed near the focal point and being responsive to the focused amplified optical feedback for thermally defocusing and aberrating the focused amplified optical feedback into a plurality of rings about the optical axis; a second lens for passing only a small portion of the defocused amplified optical feedback; and a blocking aperture disposed around the second lens for blocking substantially all of the thermally defocused amplified optical feedback from the flowing dye cell and passing therethrough into the second lens only a small portion of the thermally defocused amplified optical feedback from the flowing dye cell.

摘要: Methods for improving the performance of type-II and type-I ICLs, particularly in the mid-IR wavelength range, are provided. The electron injector of a type-II or a type-I ICL can be heavily n-doped to increase the ratio of electrons to holes in the active quantum wells, thereby increasing the probability of radiative recombination in the active quantum wells and reducing the threshold current density Jth needed to achieve lasing. For both type-II and type-I ICLs, the doping should have a sheet density in the low-1012 range. In either the type-II or the type-I case, in some embodiments, heavy doping can be concentrated in the middle quantum wells of the electron injector, while in other embodiments, doping with silicon can be shifted towards the active quantum wells.

摘要: A laser apparatus configured for epitaxial-side-down mounting on a heat sink. The laser apparatus includes a semiconductor laser structure and at least one post on a substrate where the laser structure and post are separated from each other by a channel. The laser structure and the posts optionally are coated with a heat-spreading material layer and are configured so that the maximum height of the posts is about the same as the maximum height of the laser structure. When the laser apparatus is mounted to a heat sink in an epi-down configuration using solder applied to the top of the laser structure and the at least one post, the channels between the at least one post and the laser structure provide a relief flow path for the solder and ensure that the laser structure does not come directly into contact with the solder.
