University of Tennessee (Microscopic Model of a Semiconductor Diode Laser Operating in the Ultrashort Pulse Emission Regime)
Abstract
The Navy needs high-power ultrashort pulse lasers for a wide variety of applications including (but not limited to) directed energy, air-underwater and underwater communication, and underwater sensing. Semiconductor diodes are capable of producing picosecond, subpicosecond, and femtosecond pulses; however, the power per pulse is not high. Increasing power per pulse, decreasing pulse width, and increasing the efficiency of diode laser operation is very important for the Navy~s directed energy mission. Our proposed work addresses these importanttopics. We propose a novel diode laser description that offers valuable design tools for ultrashort pulsed diode laser fabrication and efficient diode laser operation.
