Abstract: The present disclosure describes a microring OAM laser producing an optical vortex beam with an on-demand topological charge and vector polarization states. This is enabled through combined index and gain/loss modulations at an EP, which breaks the mirror symmetry in the lasing generation dynamics and facilitates unidirectional power oscillation.

Abstract: A laser source or a plurality of laser sources in a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) are provided with an electrical contact that is either segmented or is connected to a series of vernier resistor segments for supply of current to operate the laser source. In either case, at least one segment of the laser contact or at least one vernier resistor segment can be trimmed in order to vary the amount of current supplied to the laser source resulting in a change to its current density and, thus, a change in its operational wavelength while maintaining the current supplied to the laser source constant.

Abstract: A method for producing a quantum cascade laser includes the steps of forming a laser structure including a mesa structure and a buried region embedding the mesa structure; forming a mask on the laser structure, the mask including a first pattern that defines a λ/4 period distribution Bragg reflector structure and a second pattern that defines a 3λ/4 period distribution Bragg reflector structure; and forming a first distribution Bragg reflector structure, a second distribution Bragg reflector structure, and a semiconductor waveguide structure by dry-etching the laser structure through the mask, the semiconductor waveguide structure including the mesa structure that has first and second end facets. The first distribution Bragg reflector structure is optically coupled to the first end facet. The second distribution Bragg reflector structure is optically coupled to the second end facet. Here, λ denotes a value of an oscillation wavelength of the quantum cascade laser in vacuum.

Abstract: A multicolor photonic crystal laser array comprises pixels of monolithically grown gain sections each with a different emission center wavelength. As an example, two-dimensional surface-emitting photonic crystal lasers comprising broad gain-bandwidth III-nitride multiple quantum well axial heterostructures were fabricated using a novel top-down nanowire fabrication method. Single-mode lasing was obtained in the blue-violet spectral region with 60 nm of tuning (or 16% of the nominal center wavelength) that was determined purely by the photonic crystal geometry. This approach can be extended to cover the entire visible spectrum.

Abstract: An edge-emitting semiconductor laser includes a first waveguide layer, into which an active layer that generates laser radiation is embedded. The laser also includes a second waveguide layer, into which no active layer is embedded. The laser radiation generated in the active layer forms a standing wave, which has respective intensity maxima in the first waveguide layer and corresponding intensity minima in the second waveguide layer and respective intensity minima in the first waveguide layer and corresponding intensity maxima in the second waveguide layer at periodic intervals in a beam direction of the semiconductor laser. An at least regionally periodic contact structure is arranged at a surface of the edge-emitting semiconductor laser. A period length of the contact structure is equal to a period length of the standing wave, such that the semiconductor laser has an emission wavelength that is set by the period length of the contact structure.
