Cryogenic operation and room temperature application of an optically-pumped surface-emitting semiconductor laser
This thesis reports how the performance of a Vertical-External-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VECSEL) can be significantly improved by cooling the active region to cryogenic temperatures. Also presented is the development of a room temperature, stable, high power, wavelength-tuneable, mode locked VE...
