Abstract

In this work we present experimental results on the auto-correlation and cross-correlation properties of the two counterpropagating modes of a monolithic semiconductor ring laser. The ring laser can operate in a bidirectional regime where the two modes have equal power, and also in a unidirectional regime where one of the modes is almost suppressed. Auto-correlation measurements, that are carried out using an unbalanced Mach-Zehnder fiber interferometer, allows to determine the coherence length and linewidth of the ring laser. Cross-correlation measurements are carried out using a modifed interferometric set-up, and they reveal that the two counterpropagating modes are phase-locked.
