Modulation of coherently coupled surface-emitting laser arrays: analysis and applications
Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) have become the dominant source for optical data communication links in computer server, data center, and super computer applications. Driven by the exponential increase of performance in information technology, data centers, and computational power, …

Optical comb injection for optical demultiplexing and harmonic frequency locking
… integrated circuit. By injection locking a laser to one of the lines in the optical comb (i.e, forcing a laser to lase with the frequency of that comb line), the comb line can be amplified and demultiplexed. This work investigates the physics of these active demultiplexers, both …

Optically injected dual state quantum dot lasers
… the excitable pulses seen in optically injected lasers. This thesis investigates the feasibility of optically injected dual state quantum dot lasers as artificial photonic neurons. Photonic waveguides are not as sensitive to centimetre long transmission lines as electronic circuits. This could be …
