Effect of layer thickness variations in a distributed-Bragg-reflector mirror on the phase of the reflected light

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We present an analytical derivation of the phase change of the reflection coefficient of a distributed-Bragg-reflector mirror when the thickness of a layer in the mirror changes. These phase changes are additive, as has been verified by an exact numerical calculation using transmission matrices. Such a phase change will affect the lasing wavelength of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers and the center wavelength of various integrated Bragg devices.
