Abstract
In this work, we report an experimental and numerical study of the intracavity spatial filtering in edge-emitting lasers using a chirped photonic crystal (PhC) as the filtering element in the near-field domain. We provide a comprehensive analysis of the near-field PhC filtering scheme and compare it to conventional spatial filtering using a variable width slit in the far-field domain. Using a two-dimensional chirped PhC as a spatial filter, we experimentally demonstrate a brightness enhancement by a factor of 1.3, considering an edge-emitting laser with a 1.5 mm cavity length, consistent with a numerical prediction of brightness enhanced by a factor of 1.7. The experimental results are theoretically confirmed by numerical integration of a spatio-temporal model of the edge-emitting laser. Furthermore, numerical results show that brightness can be further increased over a factor of 2, applying optimized spatial-filtering elements at both the front and rear facets of the lasers.
