Design and Research of Wide Range Tunable Intracavity Liquid Crystal Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser
In order to increase the wavelength tuning range of the tunable laser and improve the reliability and stability of the system
a wavelength tunable vertical cavity surface emitting laser with a central wavelength of 852 nm was designed based on the characteristics of electrically controlled birefringence of liquid crystal. The physical principle that the structure obtained a wide range of wavelength tuning and single polarization stable output was analyzed
and the reflection spectra corresponding to the thickness of different liquid crystal layers under the whole device were further calculated by the transfer matrix method
the lasing wavelength of laser with different thickness and refractive index of liquid crystal was obtained. The results show that the tuning range of the liquid crystal tunable laser with single polarization reaches 31 nm and the tuning efficiency is more than 10 nm/V.
