Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de modulation de la sortie d'un VCSEL (5) accordable, à pompage optique. L'invention concerne deux approches différentes. Selon la première approche, la sortie du VCSEL (5) est modulée par la modulation du laser de pompage (100). Selon la seconde approche, la sortie du VCSEL (5) est modulée par la modulation d'une tension appliquée dans la région active.
