An array model based on the finite-difference method is established to simulate the far-field profile of the coherent arrays. Some important conclusions are obtained. To achieve a higher quality beam, it is necessary to decrease separation between elements, or to increase the element width. Higher brightness can be achieved in the array with larger scale. Emitted wavelength also has an influence on the far-field profile. These analyses can be extended to the future design of coherent vertical cavity surface emitting laser arrays.展开更多

The coherent QCL array combined with a diffraction grating and gold mirror is tuned in the Littrow configuration. Taking advantage of the single-lobed fundamental supermode far-field pattern, the tuning capa- bility of 30.6cm-1 is achieved with a fixed injected current of 3.5 A at room temperature. Single-mode emission can be observed in the entire process. The maximum single-mode output power of the external cavity setup is as high as 25mW and is essential in real applications.展开更多

The formulae of extracting expected signals from strong interference are derived. The selection of sensor space is discussed and then relationships between the space and frequency point, at which the signals can be extracted, are given. When expected signals are band- limit, the conditions of the selected sensor space, which should be satisfied, are given. Lastly, Performance of interference suppression is analyzed when the amplitude of interference power spectra of signals Received by three sensors fluctuates, and the expressions of relative error of the extracted signals and processing gain are derived. The theoretical and simulation results show that signals can be extracted from strong background interference without any information about signals and interference expect for the arriving direction of signals, that the space between sensors should be smaller than half wavelength of upper limit freqency when the expected signals are band-limit, and that performance of extracting signals will decline with the increase of fluctuation of interference spectrum amplitude.展开更多
