We have measured the oscillation characteristic shifts of laser diodes originated from a magnetic field. We observed wavelength shifts toward the longer wavelength side, i.e., a red shift, by using the beat note between test and reference lasers at room temperature in more than five different laser types, whereas the experiments in early 60's showed a blue shift at extremely low temperature and in a very strong magnetic field. We also observed output power shifts toward the lower power side. Both characteristic shifts showed the same tendencies at increased temperature. So, we considered the magnetic field increases the temperature of the laser diodes and then two characteristics will change. Our experiment, however, showed that the amounts of changes in temperature, estimated from each characteristic shift, do not coincide with each other. At the first stage ofour experiment, we removed the packaging parts oflaser diodes because they are made of ferromagnetic materials. However, we recently observed the wavelength shifts using the laser diodes with the packaging parts. We are now expecting the changes of the current flow around the active region in the magnetic field can explain this discrepancy by using the correlation analysis between these two shifts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
