Standing Waves in a Cavity01:28

Standing Waves in a Cavity

A household microwave and lasers are examples of standing electromagnetic waves in a cavity. When two conducting metal plates are placed parallel at the nodal planes, it creates a cavity where standing waves are formed. The cavity between the two planes is analogous to a stretched string held at the points x = 0 and x = L. Here, the distance 'L' between the two planes must be an integer multiple of half of the wavelength. The wavelengths that satisfy this condition are given by:
Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy01:16

Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy

Confocal microscopy is an advanced microscopic technique. The prime advantage of the confocal microscope over other microscopy techniques is its ability to block the out-of-focus light from the illuminated samples using pinholes. It is widely used with fluorescence optics to obtain high-resolution, sharp contrast images. Unlike optical microscopes, confocal microscopes use a focused beam of light laser to scan the entire sample surface at different z-planes. These microscopes are, therefore,...

Summary

We demonstrate chaotic mode lasing in vertical cavity surface emitting lasers at room temperature. Surface microstructures suppress lower-order modes, enabling lasing on chaotic modes observed via near-field patterns.

  • To investigate a novel method for suppressing lower-order cavity modes.
  • To analyze the characteristics of chaotic lasing modes.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of VCSELs with an open cavity confined by native oxide.
  • Introduction of surface microstructures to disrupt vertical reflectors.
  • Collection and analysis of near-field radiation patterns.
  • Spectral analysis and numerical simulations in real and phase spaces.

Main Results:

  • Successful demonstration of chaotic mode lasing in room-temperature VCSELs.
  • Suppression of lower-order cavity modes achieved by surface microstructure.
  • Direct observation of lasing on chaotic modes through near-field patterns.
