摘要: A device comprises three elements. The first element, comprising an optical gain structure and a laser cavity mirror structure, couples light to the second element, comprising a phase tuner. The second element couples phase tuned light to the third element. The third element, comprising an optical resonator with first and second coupler/splitter structures, provides a primary optical output from the second coupler/splitter structure. Light coupled into the optical resonator through the first coupler/splitter structure and then coupled out of the optical resonator though the first coupler/splitter structure is injected back into the optical gain structure through the second element. Light coupled out of the optical resonator through the second coupler/splitter structure is provided as the primary optical output. Characteristic of the coupler/splitter structures and the optical resonator are selected such that the light injected back into the optical gain structure reduces linewidth, and noise in primary optical output is suppressed.

摘要: The present invention provides a way to use anisotropic laser gain media to make a laser that can lase in two longitudinal modes at different wavelengths with orthogonal polarizations. The two longitudinal mode (LM) laser output can be separated to generate two single LM outputs. This type of lasers can also be used to generate low noise continuous wave (CW) harmonics through intracavity harmonic generation.
