Spatiospectral and picosecond spatiotemporal properties of a broad area operating channeled-substrate-planar laser
Abstract:
Spatiospectral and spatiotemporal properties of an eight-element channeled-substrate-planar laser array are investigated in both cw and pulsed operating conditions. The closely spaced CSP array with strong optical coupling between array elements is characterized by a broad area laserlike operation determined by its spatial mode spectra. The spatiotemporal evolution of the near and far field exhibits complex dynamic behavior in the picosecond to nanosecond domain. Operating parameters for the laser device have been experimentally determined. These results provide important information for the evaluation of the dynamic behavior of coherent semiconductor laser arrays.
