Abstract:
1. A microlaser system comprising: an optical source; a microlaser that is optically pumped by at least a portion of light emitted by the optical source, the microlaser comprising a control element; an actuator switch configured to be activated by a triggering event; and a photovoltaic power source coupled in a series connection with the actuator switch and the control element, the series connection configured to connect the photovoltaic power source to the control element of the microlaser when the actuator switch is activated by the triggering event; wherein the control element comprises a capacitive assembly configured for modifying the optical output of the microlaser on the basis of an electrostatic displacement of at least one element of the capacitive assembly when the photovoltaic power source is connected to the capacitive assembly upon an occurrence of the triggering event, said capacitive assembly comprising two micro-discs separated by an insulating layer, each micro-disc comprising an active layer of the microlaser.
