Investigation on the origin of terahertz waves generated by dc-biased multimode semiconductor lasers at room temperature
A technique to measure a terahertz wave generated by spectrum tailored Fabry–Pérot lasers (FP) is assessed. A dc-biased and 25 °C temperature controlled FP is probed by a continuous w...

We present a longitudinally uniform slow light waveguide, which consists of transverse periodic dielectric strips with a few defect layers. The parameters of the proposed waveguide can be tuned to have two anomalous dispersion curves with extreme points which have zero-group-velocity frequencies at nonzero wave vector in uniform-index direction. The group velocity and group velocity dispersion of the two photonic bands are analyzed, and the propagation of the slow mode with a given bandwidth is demonstrated theoretically. ©2008 American Institute of Physics
