We report an intra-cavity coherent combining of two distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) lasers with a combining efficiency of ∼84% on an InP generic foundry platform. The on-chip power of the intra-cavity combined DBR lasers is ∼9.5 mW at the injection current of 42 mA in both gain sections simultaneously. The combined DBR laser operates in a single-mode regime with a side-mode suppression ratio of 38 dB. This monolithic approach paves the way toward high-power and compact lasers, which is useful in scaling integrated photonic technologies.

Photonic crystals (PC) play a key role in optical field modulation due to their unique photonic band gaps (PBGs). Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) prepared by pulse anodization is a promising candidate for PC devices. In this research, an AAO-based PC with multi-band was fabricated on a single-slice & single-material film, which exhibits multi-band responses in the visible-to-near-infrared (vis-NIR) region.

By integrating the spherical aberration (SA) with a laser 2D scanning process, a planar refractive index modification (RIM) region can be induced in the fiber core. Thanks to the Pl-b-Pl inscription, a high-quality fiber Bragg grating (FBG) in an EYDF is produced, exhibiting a grating strength exceeding 40 dB and an insertion loss of 0.

- * Demonstrated low-threshold lasing in dry-etched green micro-ring cavities featuring dielectric distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs), which enhance optical confinement and reduce lasing thresholds.
- * Achieved continuous-wave lasing at 521.7 nm with a threshold of only 0.35 kW/cm, highlighting the potential for efficient and low-threshold micro-lasers and waveguides for integrated photonic applications.
A single-frequency distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) fiber laser operating at 1720 nm has been demonstrated for the first time using a Tm:YAG crystal-derived silica fiber (TCDSF), to the best of our knowledge. A single-frequency laser with an over 220 mW output power was achieved from a 1.5-cm-long TCDSF when being in-band pumped by a homemade 1610 nm fiber laser.

This study introduces a VCSEL design featuring a monolithic top surface high contrast grating (HCG) reflector on a thin-film substrate, aimed at improving lasing performance while reducing fabrication costs by omitting the use of distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs). We fabricated the proposed VCSEL with the surface grating and characterized its performance through micro-photoluminescence measurements.
