Enhancing the modulation bandwidth (MBW) of semiconductor lasers has been the challenge of research and technology to meet the need of high-speed photonic applications. In this paper, we propose the design of vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser integrated with multiple transverse coupled cavities (MTCCs) as a promising device with ultra-high 3-dB bandwidth. The laser features high modulation performance because of the accumulated strong coupling of the slow-light feedback from the surrounding lateral TCCs into the VCSEL cavity. Photon-photon resonance (PPR) is predicted to occur at ultra-high frequencies exceeding 145 GHz due to the optical feedback from short TCCs, which achieves 3-dB MBW reaching 170 GHz. The study is based on the modeling of the VCSEL dynamics under multiple transverse slow-light feedback from the surrounding TCCs. We show that the integration of the VCSEL with four or six feedback cavities is advantageous over the TCC-VCSEL in achieving much higher MBW enhancement under weaker coupling of slow-light into the VCSEL cavity. We also characterize the noise properties of the promising MTCC-VCSEL in the regime of ultra-high bandwidth in terms of the Fourier spectrum of the relative intensity noise (RIN).

The vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) have emerged as a vital approach for realizing energy efficient, high speed optical interconnects in the data center and supercomputers. As of today, VCSEL is the most suitable for mass production
in terms of cost-effectiveness and reliability. However, there are still key challenges for higher speed modulation above 40 GHz. Here, a hexagonal transverse coupled cavity VCSEL adiabatically coupled through the center cavity is proposed. A 3-dB roll-off modulation bandwidth of 45 GHz is demonstrated, which is five times greater than a conventional VCSEL fabricated on the same epi-wafer structure. While a parity time (PT) symmetry approaches add loss to engineer the topological state of the laser system, here, a radical paradigm shift with gain introduces symmetry breaking. This idea, then enables a single mode operation with a side-mode suppression-ratio (SMSR) of > 30 decibels and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of > 45 decibels. The energy distribution inside the coupled cavity system is also redistributed to provide a coherent gain in a spatially separated system. Consequently, throughput power is three times higher than that of the conventional VCSEL.
The system of Maxwell equations with an initial condition in a vacuum is solved in a cylindrical coordinate system. It derives the cylindrical transverse electromagnetic wave mode in which the electric field and magnetic field are not in phase. Such
electromagnetic wave can generate and exist in actual application, and there is no violation of the law of conservation of energy during the electromagnetic field interchanges.
We report on the characterization of the timing stability of passively mode-locked discrete mode diode laser sources. These are edge-emitting devices with a spatially varying refractive index profile for spectral filtering. Two devices with a mode-lo
cking frequency of 100 GHz are characterized. The first device is designed to support a comb of six modes and generates near Fourier limited 1.9 ps pulses. The second supports four primary modes resulting in a sinusoidal modulation of the optical intensity. Using a cross-correlation technique, we measured a 20 fs pulse to pulse timing jitter for the first device, while, for the second device, a mode-beating (RF) linewidth of 1 MHz was measured using heterodyne mixing in a semiconductor optical amplifier. Comparison of these results with those obtained for an equivalent Fabry-Perot laser indicates that the spectral filtering mechanism employed does not adversely affect the timing properties of these passively mode-locked devices.
Two extended cavity laser diodes are phase-locked, thanks to an intra-cavity electro-optical modulator. The phase-locked loop bandwidth is on the order of 10 MHz, which is about twice larger than when the feedback correction is applied on the laser c
urrent. The phase noise reaches -120 dBrad$^2$/Hz at 10 kHz. This new scheme reduces the residual laser phase noise, which constitutes one of the dominant contributions in the sensitivity limit of atom interferometers using two-photon transitions.
We describe passive phase-locking architectures based on external-cavity setups to improve the brightness of diode laser bars. Volume Bragg gratings are used to stabilize the lase line. Numerical modelling and experimental results will be presented.
