Provided are a laser module allowing direct light modulation and a laser
display employing the laser module. The laser module may include a
semiconductor chip, a Volume Bragg Grating (VBG), a pump laser and a
non-linear optical element. The semiconductor chip includes an active
layer generating light of primary wavelength and a reflective layer
providing the generated light to a cavity and reflecting the light within
the cavity. The VBG may output light repeatedly reflected between the
reflective layer and the VBG. The non-linear optical element disposed
outside a cavity between the semiconductor chip and the VBG may convert
the light of a first wavelength emitted from the active layer into light
of a second wavelength different from the first wavelength. The laser
module having the above-mentioned construction uses an external cavity
laser and a non-linear optical element to achieve direct light
modulation.
