Abstract
WE PROPOSE TO INVESTIGATE THE POTENTIAL OF USING OPTICALLY PUMPED SEMICONDUCTOR AND SEMICONDUCTOR ARRAYS AS GAIN MEDIA FOR LASERS. WE WILL ALSO EXPLORE MULTIPLE QUANTUM WELL INFRARED LEAD SALT SUPERLATTICES FOR INFRARED LASER OPERATION AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. WE WILL USE A SEMICONDUCTOR ALGAAS DIODE ARRAY AS A PUMP FOR THE EXTERNAL CAVITY, OPTICALLY PUMPED SEMICONDUCTOR LASER. OUR ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO DEMONSTRATE A HIGHLY EFFICIENT (OVERALL EFFICIENCY >2%) LASER SYSTEM WITH LONG LIFETIME THAT IS SUITABLE FOR SPACE COMMUNICATIONS. A METHOD OF PHASE LOCKING SEVERAL OPTICALLY PUMPED SLAVE OSCILLATORS IS GIVEN. EITHER PULSED OR CONTINUOUS OPERATION IS POSSIBLE.
