  text: <jats:p>Substantial improvements in the performance of optical interconnects
    based on multi-mode fibers are required to support emerging single-channel data
    transmission rates of 200 Gb/s and 400 Gb/s. Future optical components must combine
    very high modulation bandwidths—supporting signaling at 100 Gbaud and 200 Gbaud—with
    reduced spectral width to mitigate chromatic-dispersion-induced pulse broadening
    and increased brightness to further restrict flux-confining area in multi-mode
    fibers and thereby increase the effective modal bandwidth (EMB). A particularly
    promising route to improved performance within standard oxide-confined VCSEL technology
    is the introduction of multiple isolated or optically coupled oxide-confined apertures,
    which we refer to collectively as multi-aperture (MA) VCSEL arrays. We show that
    properly designed MA VCSELs exhibit narrow emission spectra, narrow far-field
    profiles and extended intrinsic modulation bandwidths, enabling longer-reach data
    transmission over both multi-mode (MMF) and single-mode fibers (SMF). One approach
    uses optically isolated apertures with lateral dimensions of approximately 2–3
    µm arranged with a pitch of 10–12 µm or less. Such devices demonstrate relaxation
    oscillation frequencies of around 30 GHz in continuous-wave operation and intrinsic
    modulation bandwidths approaching 50 GHz. Compared with a conventional single-aperture
    VCSELs of equivalent oxide-confined area, MA designs can reduce the spectral width
    (root mean square values &lt; 0.15 nm), lower series resistance (≈50 Ω) and limit
    junction overheating through more efficient multi-spot heat dissipation at the
    same total current. As each aperture lases in a single transverse mode, these
    devices exhibit narrow far-field patterns. In combination with well-defined spacing
    between emitting spots, they permit tailored restricted launch conditions in MMFs,
    enhancing effective modal bandwidth. In another MA approach, the apertures are
    optically coupled such that self-injection locking (SIL) leads to lasing in a
    single supermode. One may regard one of the supermodes as acting as a master mode
    controlling the other one. Streak-camera studies reveal post-pulse oscillations
    in the SIL regime at frequencies up to 100 GHz. MA VCSELs enable a favorable combination
    of wavelength chirp and chromatic dispersion, extending transmission distances
    over MMFs beyond those expected for zero-chirp sources and supporting transfer
    bandwidths up to 60 GHz over kilometer-length SMF links.</jats:p>

  text: <jats:p>Recent research revealed that single-mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting
    lasers under spin injection (spin-VCSELs) have the potential to revolutionize
    laser technology for short-haul optical communications. While previous studies
    have focused solely on single-mode operation, this study introduces multimode
    spin-VCSELs. We experimentally demonstrate the existence of multi-resonant polarization
    dynamics when spin is injected, a phenomenon previously unobserved. The development
    opens the door to significantly faster and more efficient optical communication
    systems by harnessing the collective behavior of multiple laser modes. Furthermore,
    we lay the groundwork for understanding multimode operation through the extension
    of the single-mode spin–flip model, which forms the basis for present and future
    analyses of multimode spin-laser operation. This work is an important step toward
    realizing the full potential of spin-VCSELs and, thus, enables significantly improved
    performance of spin-VCSEL-based optical networks in the future.</jats:p>

  text: <jats:p>Laterally coupled vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs)
    can exhibit additional resonances at high modulation frequencies that can substantially
    increase the laser’s modulation bandwidth. State-of-the-art laterally coupled
    devices require non-standard manufacturing technology and precise tuning of the
    currents supplied to each cavity separately to form optical supermodes suitable
    for such resonances. Here, we report on a novel switching phenomenon in laterally
    coupled VCSEL structures having only a single common electric contact and manufactured
    in a standard oxide-confined VCSEL geometry. At lower currents, they can be operated
    in a weakly coupled (WCR) regime and, at higher currents, in an injection-locked
    (IL) regime, enabling fundamentally different spectral and dynamic features. In
    the WCR, both optical supermodes lase and a narrow tunable plasma-assisted peak
    at their beating frequency is observed for each of the apertures, with a current-dependent
    frequency tuning and anti-phase intensity oscillations in each of the cavities.
    In contrast, in the IL regimes, only one (anti-symmetric) supermode lases. This
    adds a broader resonance to the modulation response while the intensity oscillations
    in both cavities are in-phase. Only the IL regime can result in increased modulation
    bandwidth of the system. Measurements of the pulse responses and continuous modulation
    up to 70 GHz for both operational regimes are presented and compared with simulations
    of our distributed rate equation model whose parameters are extracted from full-wave
    electromagnetic simulations of the device, including the temperature distribution
    in the device. Excellent agreement is found and enables comprehensive understanding
    of the dynamics of supermodes in oxide-confined coupled cavity VCSELs.</jats:p>

  text: Controlling the intensity of emitted light and charge current is the basis
    of transferring and processing information1. By contrast, robust information storage
    and magnetic random-access memories are implemented using the spin of the carrier
    and the associated magnetization in ferromagnets2. The missing link between the
    respective disciplines of photonics, electronics and spintronics is to modulate
    the circular polarization of the emitted light, rather than its intensity, by
    electrically controlled magnetization. Here we demonstrate that this missing link
    is established at room temperature and zero applied magnetic field in light-emitting
    diodes2,3,4,5,6,7, through the transfer of angular momentum between photons, electrons
    and ferromagnets. With spin–orbit torque8,9,10,11, a charge current generates
    also a spin current to electrically switch the magnetization. This switching determines
    the spin orientation of injected carriers into semiconductors, in which the transfer
    of angular momentum from the electron spin to photon controls the circular polarization
    of the emitted light2. The spin–photon conversion with the nonvolatile control
    of magnetization opens paths to seamlessly integrate information transfer, processing
    and storage. Our results provide substantial advances towards electrically controlled
    ultrafast modulation of circular polarization and spin injection with magnetization
    dynamics for the next-generation information and communication technology12, including
    space–light data transfer. The same operating principle in scaled-down structures
    or using two-dimensional materials will enable transformative opportunities for
    quantum information processing with spin-controlled single-photon sources, as
    well as for implementing spin-dependent time-resolved spectroscopies.

  text: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Spin‐controlled lasers are highly
    interesting photonic devices and have been shown to provide ultrafast polarization
    dynamics in excess of 200 GHz. In contrast to conventional semiconductor lasers
    their temporal properties are not limited by the intensity dynamics, but are governed
    primarily by the interaction of the spin dynamics with the birefringent mode splitting
    that determines the polarization oscillation frequency. Another class of modern
    semiconductor lasers are high‐<jats:italic>β</jats:italic> emitters, which benefit
    from enhanced light–matter interaction due to strong mode confinement in low‐mode‐volume
    microcavities. In such structures, the emission properties can be tailored by
    the resonator geometry to realize for instance bimodal emission behavior in slightly
    elliptical micropillar cavities. This attractive feature is utilized to demonstrate
    and explore spin‐lasing effects in bimodal high‐<jats:italic>β</jats:italic> quantum
    dot micropillar lasers. The studied microlasers with a <jats:italic>β</jats:italic>‐factor
    of 4% show spin‐laser effects with experimental polarization oscillation frequencies
    up to 15 GHz and predicted frequencies up to about 100 GHz, which are controlled
    by the ellipticity of the resonator. These results reveal appealing prospects
    for very compact, ultrafast, and energy‐efficient spin‐lasers and can pave the
    way for future purely electrically injected spin‐lasers enabled by short injection
    path lengths.</jats:p>

  text: The monolithic growth of III–V materials directly on Si substrates provides
    a promising integration approach for passive and active silicon photonic integrated
    circuits but still faces great challenges in crystal quality due to misfit defect
    formation. Nano-ridge engineering is a new approach that enables the integration
    of III–V based devices on trench-patterned Si substrates with very high crystal
    quality. Using selective area growth, the III–V material is deposited into narrow
    trenches to reduce the dislocation defect density by aspect ratio trapping. The
    growth is continued out of the trench pattern and a box-shaped III–V nano-ridge
    is engineered by adjusting the growth parameters. A flat (001) GaAs nano-ridge
    surface enables the epitaxial integration of a common InGaAs/GaAs multi-quantum-well
    (MQW) structure as an optical gain medium to build a laser diode. In this study,
    a clear correlation is found between the photoluminescence (PL) lifetime, extracted
    from time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) measurements, with the InGaAs/GaAs
    nano-ridge size and defect density, which are both predefined by the nano-ridge
    related pattern trench width. Through the addition of an InGaP passivation layer,
    a MQW PL lifetime of up to 800 ps and 1000 ps is measured when pumped at 900 nm
    (only QWs were excited) and 800 nm (QWs + barrier excited), respectively. The
    addition of a bottom carrier blocking layer further increases this lifetime to
    ∼2.5ns (pumped at 800 nm), which clearly demonstrates the high crystal quality
    of the nano-ridge material. These TRPL measurements not only deliver quick and
    valuable feedback about the III–V material quality but also provide an important
    understanding for the heterostructure design and carrier confinement of the nano-ridge
    laser diode.

  text: Introducing spin-polarized carriers in semiconductor lasers reveals an alternative
    path to realize room-temperature spintronic applications, beyond the usual magnetoresistive
    effects. Through carrier recombination, the angular momentum of the spin-polarized
    carriers is transferred to photons, thus leading to the circularly polarized emitted
    light. The intuition for the operation of such spin-lasers can be obtained from
    simple bucket and harmonic oscillator models, elucidating their steady-state and
    dynamic response, respectively. These lasers extend the functionalities of spintronic
    devices and exceed the performance of conventional (spin-unpolarized) lasers,
    including an order of magnitude faster modulation frequency. Surprisingly, this
    ultrafast operation relies on a short carrier spin relaxation time and a large
    anisotropy of the refractive index, both viewed as detrimental in spintronics
    and conventional lasers. Spin-lasers provide a platform to test novel concepts
    in spin devices and offer progress connected to the advances in more traditional
    areas of spintronics.

  text: <jats:p>In this paper, we present a confocal laser scanning holographic microscope
    for the investigation of buried structures. The multimodal system combines high
    diffraction limited resolution and high signal-to-noise-ratio with the ability
    of phase acquisition. The amplitude and phase imaging capabilities of the system
    are shown on a test target. For the investigation of buried integrated semiconductor
    structures, we expand our system with an optical beam induced current modality
    that provides additional structure-sensitive contrast. We demonstrate the performance
    of the multimodal system by imaging the buried structures of a microcontroller
    through the silicon backside of its housing in reflection geometry.</jats:p>
