Abstract

A method for realizing a synchronized watt-level dual-wavelength vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting-laser (VECSEL) by using a tilted birefringence filter (BRF) is demonstrated. It is verified that by selecting suitable BRF material with different refractive index differences between extraordinary wave and ordinary wave, the dual-wavelength emission with a free spectrum range from sub-THz to tens of THz can be achieved. The output characteristics of such a dual-wavelength VECSEL are thoroughly investigated including its wavelength tunability and power difference. Finally, the intracavity optical parametric oscillator is applied to efficiently convert the dual-wavelength laser toward the mid-infrared region. The gain competition and longitudinal mode hopping performances for the multi-wavelength mid-infrared output are explored.
