Tunable ultraslow light in vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser amplifier

Xiaoxue Zhao, Phedon Palinginis, Bala Pesala +2 more

We report the experimental demonstration of tunable ultraslow light using a 1.55 um vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) at room temperature. By varying the bias current around lasing threshold, we achieve tunable delay of an intensity modulated signal input. Delays up to 100 ps are measured for a broadband signal with modulation frequency of 2.8 GHz. With a VCSEL design optimized for amplification and leveraging the scalability of VCSEL arrays, delays of multiple modulation periods are feasible.

Modeling of Slow Light in Vertical Cavity Surface Emission Lasers

C. S. Chou, Ray‐Kuang Lee, Peng‐Chun Peng +4 more

We develop a model for the slow light in the vertical cavity surface emission lasers (VCSELs), with the combinations of cavity and the population pulsation effects. The dependences of pumping power, injection current and wavelength detuning for the group delays are demonstrated theoretically and experimentally. Up to 65 ps group delays and up to 10 GHz modulation frequency can be achieved in the room temperature at the wavelength of 1.3 mum. Based on the experimental parameters of quantum dot VCSEL structures, we show that the resonance effect of laser cavity plays a significant role to enhance the group delays.

A simple model for cavity enhanced slow lights in vertical cavity surface emission lasers

Chia-Sheng Chou, Ray‐Kuang Lee, Peng‐Chun Peng +4 more

We develop a simple model for the slow lights in Vertical Cavity Surface Emission Lasers (VCSELs), with the combination of cavity and population pulsation effects. The dependences of probe signal power, injection bias current and wavelength detuning for the group delays are demonstrated numerically and experimentally. Up to 65 ps group delays and up to 10 GHz modulation frequency can be achieved in the room temperature at the wavelength of 1.3 $μ$m. The most significant feature of our VCSEL device is that the length of active region is only several $μ$m long. Based on the experimental parameters of quantum dot VCSEL structures, we show that the resonance effect of laser cavity plays a significant role to enhance the group delays.

This investigation experimentally demonstrates a tunable slow light device using a quantum dot (QD) semiconductor laser. The QD semiconductor laser at 1.3 mum fabricated on a GaAs substrate is grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Tunable slow light can be achieved by adjusting the bias current and wavelength detuning. The slow light device operated under probe signal from 5 to 10 GHz is presented. Moreover, we also demonstrate that the tunable slow light device can be used in a subcarrier multiplexed system.
