Definitions
- Two-dimensional photonic crystal surface emitting laser light source Two-dimensional photonic crystal surface emitting laser light source
- the present invention relates to a surface-emitting laser light source that emits laser light from a planar light source in a direction perpendicular to a surface.
- a Fabry-Perot laser light source using a Fabry-Perot resonator and a distributed feedback (DFB) laser light source using a diffraction grating have been used.
- Each of these laser light sources amplifies light of a predetermined wavelength by resonance or diffraction and oscillates laser light.
- a photonic crystal is a material in which a periodic structure is artificially formed in a base material made of a dielectric material.
- the periodic structure is generally formed by periodically providing a region (different refractive index region) having a different refractive index from the base material in the base material.
- the periodic structure causes Bragg diffraction in the crystal and forms an energy band gap in terms of light energy.
- photonic crystal laser light sources one that uses a point defect as a resonator using the band gap effect and one that uses a standing wave at the band edge where the group velocity of light becomes zero. V and deviation are to amplify light of a predetermined wavelength to obtain laser oscillation.
- Patent Document 1 describes a laser light source using a two-dimensional photonic crystal.
- this laser light source an active layer containing a light emitting material is provided between two electrodes, and a two-dimensional photonic crystal is formed near the active layer.
- a plate-like member is provided with a refractive index distribution having two-dimensional periodicity.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a refractive index distribution by periodically (e.g., triangular lattice, square lattice, hexagonal lattice, or the like) of cylindrical (circular in the plane of a layer) holes formed in a semiconductor layer. Formed A two-dimensional photonic crystal is disclosed. In this case, a standing wave is formed two-dimensionally inside the two-dimensional photonic crystal due to light emission from the active layer.
- Fig. 1 schematically shows a two-dimensional photonic crystal and a standing wave formed therein. In this figure, a force that shows only one direction of a standing wave in the crystal plane (X direction) is one-dimensionally.
- a standing wave is also formed in a direction perpendicular to it. Focusing on the y component of the electric field, this standing wave has two modes, one having a node at the hole 12 in the two-dimensional photonic crystal 11 and the other having an antinode. If the axis (z-axis) passing through the center of a certain hole 12 is defined as the axis of symmetry, the former is antisymmetric and the latter is symmetric with respect to that axis. Considering the coupling with the external plane wave, the distribution function of the plane wave propagating in the z direction is uniform in the X direction, whereas the symmetry axis is an odd function in the antisymmetric mode and an even function in the symmetric mode. Be a function
- the size of the two-dimensional photonic crystal is finite, so that the antisymmetric mode light also loses symmetry and can be extracted in the direction perpendicular to the plane. Even in this case, light cannot be extracted in the direction perpendicular to the plane due to high symmetry at the center of the two-dimensional photonic crystal. Therefore, the cross-sectional shape (beam profile) of the laser beam becomes a ring shape with low intensity at the center and high intensity at the periphery. Considering the coupling with a single-mode optical fiber, it is desirable that the beam profile be a single-peak shape having the highest intensity at the center rather than such a ring shape.
- Patent Document 2 discloses a two-dimensional photo in which, in order to improve the extraction of laser light to the outside of a crystal, the cross-sectional shape of a hole in a plane perpendicular to the crystal plane gradually decreases in a main light emitting direction.
- a surface emitting laser light source using a nick crystal is described. With this light source, laser light can be selectively extracted from the side force of one surface of the two-dimensional photonic crystal, whereby the intensity of the extracted laser light can be increased as a whole.
- Patent Document 2 does not discuss the beam profile, and the laser light source cannot make the beam profile unimodal.
- Patent Document 3 discloses a two-dimensional photonic crystal in which the symmetry in a plane parallel to the base of the crystal is broken by forming a lattice structure having translational symmetry but no rotational symmetry.
- a surface emitting laser light source is described.
- Such symmetry is formed, for example, by arranging holes in a square lattice and making the plane shape of each hole a regular triangle.
- this laser light source since the lattice structure of the two-dimensional photonic crystal has low symmetry, light in the antisymmetric mode is not canceled even near the center of the two-dimensional photonic crystal. A beam profile can be obtained.
- linearly polarized laser light can be obtained because the grating structure has no rotational symmetry.
- Linearly polarized laser light is useful for coupling with an optical fiber.

- the Q value of the band edge B having a flat dispersion relation near the point ⁇ tends to decrease significantly, and the band edge A having a large slope near the point ⁇ is located at the laser oscillation point. Easy to choose. Therefore, in order to obtain stable laser operation, it is desirable to design so that the Q value is higher at band edge A than at band edge B in an infinite periodic system.
- FIG. 7 (a) shows the electric field distribution in the two-dimensional photonic crystal at band edge A in this case. In this figure, the strength and direction of the electric field are indicated by the length and direction of the arrow.

- the mode of the band edge B which is not the band edge A suitable for laser oscillation is selected for laser oscillation.
- the Q value is very high, the laser beam can hardly be extracted out of the plane. Real Since the size of a two-dimensional photonic crystal is finite, light can be extracted out of the plane. A ring-shaped beam shape with a weak force center is considered to be obtained.

- a hole exists near the center of the figure.
- the intensity of the electric field near the vacancies is strong, so it is considered that the in-plane shape becomes strongly asymmetrical. Therefore, the Q value can be reduced without providing a difference in the shape of the upper and lower surfaces as in the present embodiment.
- the electric field is formed so as to avoid vacancies at the band edge B, it is considered that the Q value can be reduced only by providing not only the in-plane asymmetry but also the difference in the shape of the upper and lower surfaces. .

- the same calculation was performed for a laser light source having a hole 412 shown in FIG. 6 (b).
- the hole 412 has a circular shape above the step 422, but has a shape in which a part of the circle is missing below the step 422. Therefore, in the holes 312 and 412, the shape on the light emitting side and the shape on the active layer side are interchanged.
- FIG. 10 shows the calculation results of the Q value.
- the Q value of the present example is smaller than that of the comparative example.
- the Q value of the band edge A is as high as 34,525, resonance occurs selectively with respect to the band edge A, and the light is hardly taken out due to the high Q value.
- this embodiment Since the Q value of both band edge A and band edge B is on the order of several thousand, laser resonance can be obtained and laser light can be extracted outside.
- the asymmetry of the planar shape is formed in the hole 412 on the active layer side of the step 422, while in the hole 312, on the light emitting surface side of the step 322. From this, it is considered that by increasing the asymmetry of the planar shape closer to the light emitting surface, it becomes easier to extract light with a light emitting surface power.
- FIG. 11 shows the electromagnetic field distribution in the two-dimensional photonic crystal in the case of the present example (hole 312) and the comparative example (hole 412).
- the node of the electric field distribution of the present embodiment is more shifted than that of the comparative example, and the node of the electric field distribution is larger than that of the band end A with respect to the center of the unit cell. From this, it can be said that the smaller the Q value, the lower the symmetry of the electric field distribution.
- the shape of the different refractive index region (hole) can be more freely adjusted than that of a conventional two-dimensional photonic crystal surface emitting laser light source for the purpose of obtaining unimodal 'linearly polarized light. Can be adjusted. Among them, by using the holes 311 and 312 having the above-described shape, it is possible to obtain a laser beam which is unimodal, linearly polarized light, and further strong.
