We present a first realization ofmulti-dimensional laser mode construction bymulti-frequency active mode-locking, mappedto the multi-dimensional spherical-model instatistical-mechanics (and provide its rare physicalrealization) with implications to ultrashort lightpulsegeneration.JTu1J.7 • 12:45Terahertz Quantum Cascade Laser Performancefor Structures with Variable Barrier Heights,Aiting Jiang 1 , karun vijayraghavan 1 , Alpar Matyas 2 ,Christian Jirauschek 2 , Zbig Wasilewski 3 , MikhailA. Belkin 1 ; 1 Department of Electrical and ComputerEngineering, University of Texas at Austin,USA; 2 Institute for Nanoelectronics, TechnischeUniversität München, Germany; 3 Department ofElectrical and Computer Engineering, University ofWaterloo, Canada. We experimentally studied theperformance of GaAs/AlGaAs terahertz quantumcascade lasers with variable barrier heights in thebandstructure. Best devices achieved Tmax closeto that of the record structure, while having lowerthreshold current density.CTu1K.8 • 12:45Linearly polarized Q-switched large-modeareaphotonic crystal fiber laser operating at978 nm, Jing He 1,2 , Songtao Du 1,2 , Jun Zhou 1 ,Ziwei Wang 1,2 , Zhaokun Wang 1,2 , Qihong Lou 1 ;1Information Technology Research Center of SpaceLaser, Shanghai Inst of Optics and Fine Mech, CAS,China; 2 University of Chinese Academy of Sciences,Chinese Academy of Sciences, China. A linearlypolarized Q-switching large-mode-area photoniccrystal fiber laser at 978 nm is demonstrated. Shortpulse of 14 ns duration is achieved with 36 dBpolarization extinction ratio at 10 kHz repetitionrate and 2 W output power.CTu1L.7 • 12:45On-Chip Optical Interconnect Module with 3-DOptical Path Using Guided-Wave Silicon OpticalBench, Po-Kuan Shen 1 , Chin-Ta Chen 1 , Sheng-Long Li 1 , Chia-Hao Chang 1 , Shu-Hsuan Lin 1 ,Chia-Chi Chang 2 , Hsiao-Chin Lan 2 , Yun-ChihLee 3 , Mount-Learn Wu 1 ; 1 Department of Opticsand Photonics, National Central University, Taiwan;2Optical Sciences Center, National Central University,Taiwan; 3 Centera Photonics Inc., Taiwan. Aguided-wave silicon optical bench with monolithic45degree micro-reflector for 3-D integrated opticalinterconnect is experimentally demonstrated.Optical coupling-efficiency between VCSEL andPIN PD is -1.74dB with 10mA bias, and detectorcurrent is 1.22mA.13:00–14:00 Lunch and Unopposed Exhibit Only Time, Exhibit Halls 1 and 2 (concessions available)14:00–16:00 Market Focus Session II: Photonics Entrepreneurs, Exhibit Hall 2Tuesday, 11 JuneNOTES__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________102 CLEO: 2013 • 9–14 June 20132013CLEO Tuesday.indd 115/17/13 3:10 PM
