Method of Self-Mixing in the Spectroscopy of Quasielastically Scattered Laser Radiation

Interaction of a semiconductor laser with its self-radiation quasielastically scattered in the environment is considered. It is established that at small coefficients of coupling of the laser with the scattering medium the spectral density of the power of an optoelectronic signal in the laser faithfully reproduces the shape of the scattered-radiation spectrum at the Doppler-shift frequencies. This makes it possible to measure the spectrum with a resolution characteristic for optical homodynation by recording the optoelectronic signal.     

Characterization and Spatial Matching of Laser Diode Beams

It is shown that the type of lateral waveguide of a laser diode cannot be determined uniquely based on just the measured magnitude of astigmatism. For a unique determination, the K-factor of Petermann, which characterizes the wavefront curvature at the laser output facet, must be measured as well. In order to determine the type of lateral waveguide, a setup for measuring astigmatic distances in the range 0–200 m with an error of ±2 m and a K-factor with an error of 20% was developed. Operational features of the setup were analyzed, and a technique that allows one to minimize the effect of beam ellipticity on the measurement results was found. Using the technique, the optimization of spatial matching of a laser diode with a ring interferometer of the butterfly type was accomplished. For transformation of the astigmatic elliptical beam into the axially symmetric mode of the interferometer, we have used an optical system that consists of two cylindrical and one spherical lenses. The algorithm for designing the matching system was developed, and the 85% injection of radiation of a AlGaAs laser diode into the principal mode of a ring interferometer was experimentally demonstrated.
