Title: The GaSb-based Y-branch DBR and photonic crystal lasers (invited conference presentation)
We report on development of the mid-infrared antimonide based laser technology targeting dual wavelength operation for intra-cavity difference frequency generation. The devices utilize Y-branch architecture with high order DBR reflectors controlling the laser emission spectrum. The device active region contain asymmetric tunnel coupled quantum well with built in resonant second order nonlinearity. The epitaxially regrown photonic crystal surface emitting GaSb-based lasers will be demonstrated.  more » « less

    A green‐emitting perovskite first‐order distributed feedback (DFB) laser based on the methylammonium lead bromide (MAPbBr3) with high stability is demonstrated for the first time. The laser achieves stable lasing at 550 nm with a full width at half maximum of 0.4 nm. Low lasing threshold of 60 μJ cm−2under nanosecond pulsed excitation and 3.1 μJ cm−2under femtosecond pulsed excitation is observed, showing a much lower lasing threshold compared with the second‐order DFB cavities, which are fabricated on the same substrate. By optimizing the antisolvent treatment and encapsulating with poly(methyl methacrylate), the laser lifetime, resistance to moisture, lasing threshold, and intensity are significantly improved. The lasers are fabricated with a complementary metal‐oxide‐semiconductor‐compatible process, thus offer promising potential for the integrated photonic devices.

    Complex Swift Hohenberg equation (CSHE) has attracted intensive research interest over the years, as it enables realistic modeling of mode-locked lasers with saturable absorbers by adding a fourth-order term to the spectral response. Many researchers have reported a variety of numerical solutions of CSHE which reveal interesting pulse patterns and structures. In this work, we have demonstrated a CSHE dissipative soliton fiber laser experimentally using a unique spectral filter with a complicated transmission profile. The behavior and performance of the laser agree qualitatively with the numerical simulations based on CSHE. Our findings bring insight into dissipative soliton dynamics and make our mode-locked laser a powerful testbed for observing dissipative solitons of CSHE, which may open a new course in ultrafast fiber laser research.

    High-order sideband generation (HSG), as an analog of the interband processes in high-harmonic generation (HHG) in solids, is a nonperturbative nonlinear optical phenomenon in semiconductors that are simultaneously driven by a relatively weak near-infrared (NIR) laser and a sufficiently strong terahertz (THz) field. We derive an explicit formula for sideband polarization vectors in a prototypical two-band model based on the saddle-point method. Our formula connects the sideband amplitudes with the laser-field parameters, electronic structures, and nonequilibrium dephasing rates in a highly nontrivial manner. Our results indicate the possibility of extracting information on band structures and dephasing rates from high-order sideband generation experiments with simple algebraic calculations. We also expect our approach to be useful on the quantitative understanding of the interband HHG.

    The irradiation of the CMS Hadron Calorimeter (HCAL) subdetectors results in decreased signal output from the active materials as well as increased noise in the photodetectors used to read out the system. The HCAL has a dedicated calibration system used to monitor and correct for these effects and to help synchronise the timing of the subdetectors. The calibration system is described with a focus on the upgrades to the laser system, which has undergone significant changes since the end of Run 2 of the LHC in 2018. A new solid state laser has been installed and commissioned, and the optical setup for light distribution has been simplified. An upgrade to the laser trigger board has reduced the laser trigger jitter by an order of magnitude. A new system has also been developed to fire the laser, based on existing HCAL electronics. Future improvements to the system are also presented, including ongoing work on extending the system to include remote monitoring capabilities.

    We analytically and numerically investigate the emission of high-order harmonic radiation from model solids by intense few-cycle midinfrared laser pulses. In single-active-electron approximation, we expand the active electron’s wave function in a basis of adiabatic Houston states and describe the solid’s electronic band structure in terms of an adjustable Kronig-Penney model potential. For high-order harmonic generation (HHG) from MgO crystals, we examine spectra from two-band and converged multiband numerical calculations. We discuss the characteristics of intra- and interband contributions to the HHG spectrum for computations including initial crystal momenta either from the  point at the center of the first Brillouin zone (BZ) only or from the entire first BZ. For sufficiently high intensities of the driving laser field, we find relevant contributions to HHG from the entire first BZ. Based on numerically calculated spectra, we scrutinize the cutoff harmonic orders as a function of the laser peak intensity and find good qualitative agreement with our analytical saddle-point-approximation predictions and published theoretical data.
