Article Abstract
The design of a bidirectional free-space optical interconnect system is presented. Vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) arrays as a coherent light source and VCSEL beam collimation are described. Hologram array design and a way to improve the diffraction efficiency by use of a copying technique utilizing Dupont photopolymers are presented. Scattering from the hologram as a noise source is measured. An optical model for the design of system parameters such as the VCSEL beam diameter, size and apodization of the hologram, and size of the detector is given on the basis of cross-talk analysis of the system. The effect of VCSEL wavelength variation on system design is considered. Aberrations caused by the Fourier lens in the system are calculated, and ways for correction of the aberrations are discussed.

Surface-emitting lasers featuring optical bound states in the continuum (BICs) have recently emerged as a promising alternative to vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers. However, structural damage caused by top-down fabrication processes remains as a major obstacle that limits device performance. Here, we overcome this bottleneck by demonstrating surface-emitting quasi-BIC lasers fabricated with a bottom-up, etching-free process.

This paper characterizes the performance of 940 nm single-junction (1 J) and triple-junction (3 J) vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) arrays, tested at room temperature under 1.8 ns pulsed current injection. By suppressing thermal effects, the slope efficiency (SE) of the 1 J VCSEL array reaches 1.

Organic-inorganic perovskite materials have garnered widespread academic attention owing to their remarkable optical characteristics. Nonetheless, it is imperative to minimize the laser threshold and non-radiative recombination losses for developing perovskite lasers with superior performance. In this work, an innovative perovskite vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) has been developed by integrating gold nanorods (Au NRs) into the resonant cavity to manipulate the light field energy distribution and optical confinement factor, significantly reducing the threshold of perovskite lasers through the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect.

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are promising gain materials for realizing solution-processable, wavelength-tunable and low-cost laser diodes. However, achieving electrically pumped amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) in QDs, a prerequisite for lasing, is hampered by the low net optical gain and low current injection of the diodes. Here we demonstrate electrically pumped and surface-emitting ASE from QDs by electro-thermal-optically co-designing a quantum-dot light-emitting diode (QLED) with high net optical gain and high current injection.

We propose what we believe to be a novel approach for generating wideband chaos via intensity-modulated chaotic optical injection, utilizing chaotic signals produced by a free-running vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser. Two injection configurations are considered: parallel injection and orthogonal injection. Specifically, we examine the effect of injection parameters, including injection strength and frequency detuning, on the chaos radio frequency spectrum bandwidth.
