A Mode-Locked Vertical Extended Cavity Surface Emitting Laser, Aoife Deburca
Theses
Surface emitting lasers are a competitive and flexible alternative to edge emitting lasers. The surface-emitting laser has many useful characteristics, which make it beneficial for many applications. These characteristics include the ease of testing during the growth and the fundamental mode output that is effortlessly achieved
The thesis is focused on the Vertical External Cavity Surface Emitting Laser due to its increased flexibility beyond that of the Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser. A wide range of possible parameters are detailed allowing for flexibility in design and applications.
Optically pumped pulsed cavity configurations were investigated in relation to intra-cavity devices and …
