Taylor, R.J.E., Childs, D.T.D., Ivanov, P. et al. (7 more authors) (2015) Electronic control of coherence in a two-dimensional array of photonic crystal surface emitting lasers. Scientific Reports, 5. 13203. ISSN 2045-2322
Abstract
We demonstrate a semiconductor PCSEL array that uniquely combines an in-plane waveguide structure with nano-scale patterned PCSEL elements. This novel geometry allows two-dimensional electronically controllable coherent coupling of remote vertically emitting lasers. Mutual coherence of the PCSEL elements is verified through the demonstration of a two-dimensional Young’s Slits experiment. In addition to allowing the all-electronic control of the interference pattern, this type of device offers new routes to power and brightness scaling in semiconductor lasers, and opportunities for all-electronic beam steering.
