Self-pulsing and dual-mode lasing in a square microcavity semiconductor laser are studied experimentally. Self-sustained pulses originating from undamped relaxation oscillation induced by a two-mode interaction are obtained, as the injection current is slightly above the laser threshold. A repetition frequency of 4.4 GHz and a pulse width of 30-40 ps are obtained at a current of 8 mA. The laser switches to continuous-wave operation when the injection current is higher than a certain value, and dual-mode lasing with 30.7 GHz at 16 mA and 10.7 GHz at 27 mA are observed in the lasing spectra. Furthermore, the relative intensity noise spectra are presented to reveal the relationship between the lasing states and the dynamics induced by relaxation oscillation and mode beating.

Article Synopsis
- - This study presents a novel technique for generating dual-mode vortex lasing with a topological charge of -2 using specially designed photonic crystals that support certain bound states.
- - The researchers created a hexagonal pattern of TiO nanoparticles in a crystal slab to achieve these bound states at a specific point (the Γ point), while adjusting the shape of the crystal led to lasing occurring at off-Γ points, producing two closely spaced laser peaks.
- - The characteristics of the lasing include a coherence time of approximately 1.4 picoseconds with pulsed pumping, and polarizing measurements show that the two lasing peaks are orthogonally polarized.
We present a coupled distributed feedback (DFB) laser system, based on AlGaAs/GaAs epitaxially grown compound semiconductor, with electroluminescence near 820 nm. This DFB laser system supports two lateral modes sharing a Bragg grating, thereby enabling simultaneous lasing operation at two different frequencies. We recorded a dual-mode operation with a 4.

By using this grating, the coupling coefficient is enhanced by approximately 2.83 times compared to conventional sampled Bragg gratings.

- Nanolasers using plasmonic crystals have become popular due to their improved light control, but separating their lasing modes for different applications has been a challenge.
- This research presents a method to spatially separate two lasing modes in a dual-mode plasmonic laser using a specially designed beam-splitter that can achieve a mode separation of approximately 23° (up to 63° with adjustments).
- The new design not only allows for separate beams and manual beam steering but also enhances output quality, suggesting potential uses in advanced fields like optical communication and quantum optics.
To realize a stable single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) 1550-nm light source for the generation of non-classical states, a ring auto-pump-depleted singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (SRO) with the assistance of second-harmonic-wave generation (SHG) is designed and built in this Letter. A magnesium oxide doped periodically polarized lithium niobate (MgO:PPLN) crystal and a lithium triborate (LBO) crystal are employed as the optical parametric downconversion (OPDC) and SHG crystals, respectively. Especially, the introduced SHG can firstly increase the loss difference between the lasing and non-lasing modes so that the dual-mode or multi-mode coupling in the achieved SRO can be effectively eliminated and the stable SLM operation is achieved.
