These highly brilliant laser light sources enable the development of next-generation 3D displays. About 1W output power from small-sized modules was achieved at 635 nm by direct diode laser emission and at 530 nm using single pass second harmonic generation (SHG) of a highly brilliant near-infrared laser diode.

Research on phosphor-conversion laser-based white light used as optical source of VLC and illumination

Visible light communication (VLC) based on light emitting diodes (LEDs) or laser diodes (LDs) has attracted considerable interest in recent years. Due to the advantages of laser diodes based on nitrides, such as small size, high brightness, visible light and high bandwidth, it can be applied to illumination and communication at the same time. In this paper, blue laser and yellow phosphors were employed to synthesize white light. And “efficiency droop” is not observed in the LIV characteristics of LD-based white light either. The bandwidth measurement system with high reliability was set up. The bandwidth of blue laser diode and phosphor-conversion laser-based white light was measured. The maximum of optical ?3 dB bandwidth of blue LD is around 1.8 GHz at 80 mA and maximum of optical ?3 dB bandwidth of white light is about 1.3 GHz at 60 mA. The color parameters of the synthetic white light were characterized through integrating sphere. Moreover the trends of test data with injection current were analyzed in detail. The problem of thermal degradation of yellow phosphors has been improved by a special design that can keep a certain distance between the blue laser diode and phosphors. The experiment results verified that laser diodes based on nitrides have promising applications in lighting and communications.     

Efficient high-power frequency doubling of distributed Bragg reflector tapered laser radiation in a periodically poled MgO-doped lithium niobate planar waveguide

We report on efficient single-pass, high-power second-harmonic generation in a periodically poled MgO-doped LiNbO3 planar waveguide using a distributed Bragg reflector tapered diode laser as a pump source. A coupling efficiency into the planar waveguide of 73% was realized, and 1.07 W of visible laser light at 532 nm was generated. Corresponding optical and electro-optical conversion efficiencies of 26% and 8.4%, respectively, were achieved. Good agreement between the experimental data and the theoretical predictions was observed.

Response of metal-insulator-metal point contact diodes to visible laser light

Video response and mixing behaviour of metal-insulator-metal point contact diodes have been investigated for visible laser light. Thermally enhanced tunneling is shown to dominate the dc detection behavior of those diodes, while mixing of frequencies being more than several MHz apart is a more complex phenomenon involving thermal, field-and photo-assisted tunneling. In further experiments the potential of point contact diodes for optical heterodyne spectroscopy was examined. Two green laser lines of 122 GHz frequency difference were mixed with the second harmonic of an appropriate microwave frequency, generated simultaneously on the diode. The modestS/N ratio achieved has to be assigned to the different behaviour of metal-insulator-metal diodes in the visible and rf range.

Analyzing of LED-induced Blood Fluorescent Spectra

The visible fluorescence spectra of healthy mice blood cells have been measured by light emitting diode (LED) excitation at about 570 nm (Δλ1/2≈32 nm ) in vitro. It is found that the spectral profiles of mouse blood, erythrocyte and hemoglobin are similar. The physical mechanism for LED-induced blood cells fluorescence spectra is analyzed. The development of low intensity laser or light irradiating blood therapy in vivo and in vitro may be guided by the understanding of blood fluorescence characteristics.     

Measurement of frequency differences between visible laser lines up to 170GHz using metal-insulator-metal point contact diodes

Frequency differences of up to 170 GHz between a cw dye laser and a krypton laser at 568 nm were measured by mixing laser and microware radiation with a metalinsulator-metal point contact diode. Beat signals are well above noise and there is still great potential for improvement when better microwave oscillators are used. From the measurements reported it follows that the diode can be used for determining still higher frequency differences of visible laser radiation.

F-P半导体激光器实现多波长注入锁定

F-P半导体激光器中对于TE模比TM模有更大的束缚系数,并且在其反射面上有更高的反射率.当TE模和TM模同时注入F-P半导体激光器的谐振腔时,TE模方向的信号得到增长,TM模方向的信号受到抑制.F-P半导体激光器的这种特性使得它类似于一个偏振器,但是其优越之处在于经过F-P半导体激光器注入锁定之后的光信号没有功率损耗.采用F-P半导体激光器的注入锁定原理,使入射光信号没有功率损耗地由偏振光转换为部分偏振光,降低了通信系统中传输信号的偏振敏感性,使传输信号的质量得到提高,实现了F-P半导体激光器三波长和四波长注入锁定.     

Lateral resolution of 28 nm (<Emphasis Type="BoldItalic">λ</Emphasis> /25) in far-field fluorescence microscopy

We demonstrate sub-diffraction lateral resolution of 28±2 nm in far-field fluorescence microscopy through stimulated emission depletion effected by an amplified laser diode. Measurement of the optical transfer function in the focal plane reveals a 6-fold enlargement of the spatial bandwith over the diffraction limit. The resolution is established by imaging individual fluorescent molecules on a surface. Corresponding to 1/25 of the responsible wavelength, the attained resolution represents a new benchmark in far-field microscopy and underscores the viability of fluorescence nanoscopy with visible light, conventional optics and compact laser systems .

Properties of monolithic integration of a resonant tunneling diode and a quantum well laser

An investigation of the electrical and optical characteristics of a resonant tunneling diode monolithically integrated with a quantum well laser is carried out. An analytic expression for the propagating model current is given in terms of the total spontaneous emission rate. The laser is pumped by the current emitted by the resonant tunneling diode. When the current in the laser exceeds the threshold current, laser light is produced. Since the current in the laser exhibits negative differential resistance similar in behavior to the current of a resonant tunneling diode, a bistable light output can be obtained from this new device.

Synchronous Injection Locking Operation of Monolithic Diode Lasers Mode-Locked Diode Lasers

Synchronized mode-locking of monolithic mode-locked diode lasers has been demonstrated by injecting the light output from a master monolithic mode-locked diode laser. The master diode laser is a 10 GHZ hybridly mode-locked two section InGaASP quantum well laser. The slave lasers are a 10 GHz two section laser which is similar to the master laser, and a 20 GHz three section colliding pulse mode-locking laser. Both the slave lasers were greatly stabilized at 10 GHz frequency by a synchronous mode-locking mechanism under the injection of master laser pulses.

Injection-locking technique for heterodyne optical phase locking of a diode laser

A novel technique is demonstrated for heterodyne optical phase locking of a diode laser to a single-frequency source by injection seeding. By modulation of the drive current of the diode laser at as much as several gigahertz, FM sidebands are imposed upon the output. We demonstrate that it is possible to phase lock either sideband to an injected beam. The carrier of the diode laser output is therefore locked in phase with the injected light but with a frequency difference given by the modulation of the drive current. The phase fluctuations between the lasers are analyzed, and the variance is found to be (4.4( degrees ))(2) , corresponding to 99.4% of the diode carrier light locked to the injected beam.
