Abstract

Abstract : Semiconductor Lasers In article number1700323, Yves Bidaux and co‐workers present a dual‐waveguide for intracavity dispersion compensation in semiconductor lasers and apply it to a short‐wavelength quantum cascade laser. The fundamental mode of the laser cavity leaks into a second, passive waveguide and creates a new coupled mode. The chromatic dispersion of the coupled mode can be tailored in order to allow for frequency comb operation of the device.
