Fano, EIT, ) Mode profiles and active behaviour of waveguide From periodic structures to lasers - Edge emitting DFB laser - Vertically emitting VCSEL Mach-Zehnder interferometer for switching. 9 Photonic structures Many of them can be considered as oscillators Guide Fabry-Perot L So what is the simple description? One mode 1 oscillator frequency, losses Two modes oscillators + phase matching phenomena Three modes 3 oscillators + interaction control (EIT, Fano) 10

Initial waves are plane waves Origin of : Fresnel reflections k modulo G cf. slide. waves : mi of and Appearance of band gap («photonic band gap») solutions = {sym} & {as} at /a (Brillouin zone edge) Stationary waves at this point «slow light» near these edges Use in bandgap : partial Bragg reflector E a 0 1 k= /a+ik Mode at ω Mode at ω 1 wave(s) with imaginary k (decay) Progressive wave + Stationary wave progressive wave E low Medium High 0
11 General treatment of weak periodicity Coupled Mode Theory We have seen one version : d a1 1 i a1 i dt a i a Time version (not so common : Hermann Haus microwave people)... swapping control parameter (k) and time s roles... d a1( z) 1( ) i a1( z) i dz a( z) i ( ) a( z) Spatial version (Kogelnik, BTSJ) (Yariv, Tamir) and in cm -1 (Obtained from Mawell equations at constant frequency, by taking out slowly varying «envelope» terms of the field. ) The spatial dephasing (spatial coherence) now plays a big role instead of temporal effects... but fundamentally same story 1 Distributed Bragg reflector Origin of coupling by periodicity : Fresnel reflections Strength ~ Δn/n depends on INDEX CONTRAST Very high Δn Air/Silicon: 1.0/3.5 Penetration length [# of periods] ~ [<n>/ Δn] 1 to Quite high Δn Medium Δn Low Δn Very low Δn SiO /TiO : 1.5/.5 to 3 AlAs/GaAs, SiO /Al O 3 3.0/ /1.7 4 to 6 InP/InGaAsP 3.30/ to 16 SiO /Ge:SiO 1.5/ to 00 Very very low Δn (Holograms) 1.5/ to 000 Very very very low n X-rays : 1.0 / > 0 000

14 DFB laser eample Distributed Bragg reflector Waveguide Gain QW = DFB SCH laser 7 DFB FP laser Ideally this but not feasible Rather this etra step : thin layer periodically etched away and replaced by another (epitaially grown) medium So Confinement factor of grating is very small ma grating E d min grating grating layer layer E d 8
15 DFB FP laser n eff model Reality Each section seen as a fraction of a waveguide effective indices n eff1 and n eff. Layers of n eff1 and n eff Model : laser considered as a multilayer with inde n eff1 and n eff. (and gain, abs) Because of small n eff1 and n eff only differ by ~ 0.1% So the actual stop band is ~1-3 nm, same order as FSR So lasing become much better on any of the two band edges (the slowest allowed modes) 9 DFB FP laser spectrum Fundamental transition (Gain or loss!) Gain g Two narrow modes ( in competition) heavy holes abs ω gap Still two modes left how to get one? With a modified grating : grating with a / defect among /4 steps Phase-shifted DFB laser 30

18 VCSEL QW placement Having QW only where fmode field is large A new concept is naturally introduced : a periodic gain medium with ~/n periodicity (admittedly, in practice 850 nm VCSELs can «unfortunately» operate with 3QWs and no period, but lower gain ones or high power ones have to work so) 35 Course 1 : Semiconductors Basics of coupling : two oscillators... two guides, two waves (à la Haus) (What if 3rd oscillator?
