Experimental study of the delayed threshold phenomenon in a class-A VECSEL
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 March 2012
Abstract
An experimental study of the delayed threshold phenomenon in a Vertical Extended Cavity Semiconductor Emitting Laser is carried out. Under modulation of the pump power, the laser intensity exhibits a time delay in the vicinity of the threshold. The evolution of this delay is measured as a function of the modulation frequency and is proved to follow the predicted scaling law. A model based on the rate equations is derived and used to analyze the experimental observations. A frequency variation of the laser around the delayed threshold and induced by the phase-amplitude coupling is predicted and estimated.
