The spectral and temporal characteristics of a V-groove AIGaAs-GaAs quantum wire (QWR) laser were investigated with varying the cavity length. At cavity lengths shorter than 300 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, a discrete shift in tile wavelength occurred from the n=1 to the n=2 subband due to the increased cavity losses. Utilizing this characteristic, ultrafast lasing characteristics at each subband were investigated by tile gain switching method.

A high angular tolerance spectral filter was realized incorporating an etalon, which consists of a $TiO_2$ cavity sandwiched between a pair of Ag/Ge mirrors. The effective angle was substantially extended thanks to the cavity's high refractive index. The device was created by embedding a 313-nm thick $TiO_2$ film in 16-nm thick Ag/Ge films through sputtering, with the Ge layer alleviating the roughness and adhesion of the Ag layer. For normal incidence, the observed center wavelength and transmission were ~900 nm and ~60%, respectively; throughout the range of $50^{\circ}$, the relative wavelength shift and transmission variation amounted to only ~0.06 and ~4%, respectively.

공동광자감쇠 분광학(Cavity Ringdown Spectroscopy, CRDS)은 고감도의 흡수분광법으로 미량기체의 농도나 흡수분광선의 연구에 사용되어 왔으며 화염이나 플라스마에도 응용되고 있다. 이 분광법은 시간에 따라 지수함수로 감쇠하는 공동광자감쇠신호의 감쇠상수를 측정하는 기술인데, 레이저의 밴드폭이 흡수선폭보다 넓으면 감쇠신호가 지수함수에서 벗어나 오차를 발생하게 된다. 그러므로 오차를 줄이려면 좁은선폭의 레이저를 사용하거나 공동광자감쇠신호의 주파수를 분리하여야 한다. 분광선폭보다 매우 넓은 선폭의 레이저를 사용하고 분광기를 이용하여 공동광자감쇠신호를 분리하는 방법들이 제안되었다.

Room temperature quasi-continuous operation is achieved near 1556 nm with threshold current as low as 2.2 mA from a 5.6-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ oxide-aperture vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser. Wafer fusion techniques are employed to combine the GaAs/AlGaAs mirror and the InP-based InGaAs/InGaAsP active layer. In this structure, an $Al_x/O_y$/GaAs distributed bragg reflector and intra-cavity contacts are used to reduce free carrier absorption.

Several methods of aligning ring type cavities have been investigated for long time. The measurement of cavity transmission spectrum control is somewhat effective due to aligning cavity with measuring cavity loss at the same time. In this research, four mirrors are aligned and attached by the measurement of pulse width of the transmitted light. The intracavity loss is optimized to about 0.98%, giving the calculated total reflection coefficient of about 99.02%.

In this study, a Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) sensor with an externally exposed optical cavity is proposed for improving sensitivity. NDIR CO₂ sensors with high performance must use a lamp-type infrared (IR) source with a strong IR intensity. However, a lamp-type IR source generates high thermal energy that induces thermal noise, interfering with the accuracy of the CO₂ concentration measure. To solve this problem, the optical cavity of the NDIR CO₂ sensor is exposed to quickly dissipate heat. As a result, the proposed NDIR CO₂ sensor has a shorter warm-up time and a higher sensitivity compared to the conventional NDIR CO₂ sensor.

Dielectric apertures in vertical cavity laser have been used for improved device performance. Numerical analysis is used to estimate the optical losses as the aperture diameter is reduced. The optical losses depend on the aperture size, thickness and location. The optical loss strongly depend on the aperture size and thickness when the aperture size is similar or smaller than the emitted wavelength. The optical loss is negligible and not depend on the aperture thickness when the aperture size is larger than 5 times emitted wavelength.

We examine the conventional method of measuring the internal optical loss using the dependence of the reciprocal external quantum efficiency on the cavity length in laser diodes. It is shown that the implicit assumption of constant internal differential quantum efficiency ${\eta}_{id}$, which has been customarily misinterpreted as internal quantum efficiency ${\eta}_{i}$, is not valid for devices with short cavity length. Therefore, for reliable measurments long cavity data should be used.
