Article Abstract

An effective method for millimeter-wave (mmW) carrier generation from a dual-transverse-mode microsquare laser is experimentally demonstrated. By directly modulating the dual-mode microsquare laser at 6.7 GHz, multiple sidebands are generated due to enhanced modulation nonlinearity, and the lasing modes with an interval of 40 GHz are phase-locked. MmW carriers up to 47 GHz, corresponding to seven times that of the modulation frequency, are achieved with a linewidth below 10 Hz. The single-sideband phase noises of the signals keep the same level after transmission over 2.5 km of optical fiber.

At solid-liquid interfaces, charged particles within the electric double layer (EDL) are acted on by the electrostatic force, which may affect cell absorption and surface wettability. In this study, a model of the electrostatic force and surface tension of textured surfaces was presented. Then, the growth and adhesion of Murine osteoblasts (MC3T3-E1) cells on laser-ablated micro-square-textured Ti-6Al-4V surfaces were studied to demonstrate the use of a laser-processed texture to effectively improve bioactivity.

A tri-mode micro-square laser under optical feedback is proposed and demonstrated to generate chaos with the broadband flat microwave spectrum. By adjusting lasing mode intensities, frequency intervals, and optical feedback strength, we can enhance the chaotic bandwidth significantly. The existence of two mode-beating peaks makes the flat bandwidth much larger than the relaxation oscillation frequency.

A simple dual-loop optoelectronic oscillator using a 16 μm side length AlGaInAs/InP directly modulated microsquare laser is proposed and investigated without an external modulator. High-performance first harmonics are realized, with 3 dB linewidth, less than 200 Hz, and a frequency-tunable range from 2 to 8 GHz. Meanwhile, a side-mode suppression ratio of 60 dB is obtained for the microwave by the dual-loop structure.

A dual-transverse-mode microsquare laser with a tunable wavelength interval is designed and realized by using a square-ring-patterned contact window. For a 30-μm-side-length microsquare laser with the square-ring width of 4 μm, the wavelength interval varies from 0.25 to 0.
