Longitudinal mode multistability in Ring and Fabry-Pérot lasers: the effect of spatial hole burning.
We theoretically discuss the impact of the cavity configuration on the possible longitudinal mode multistability in homogeneously broadened lasers. Our analysis is based on the most general form of a Travelling-Wave Model for which we present a method that allows us to evaluate the monochromatic solutions as well as their eigenvalue spectrum. We find, in agreement with recent experimental repor...
متن کاملWavelength multistability in lasers
We theoretically discuss the impact of the cavity configuration on the possible longitudinal mode multistability in homogeneously broadened lasers. We present a general method allowing to perform a direct bifurcation diagram and to determine the stability of the solutions of a Travelling wave model. We find, in agreement with recent experimental reports, that multistability is more easily reach...
متن کاملRate-equation model for multi-mode semiconductor lasers with spatial hole burning.
We present a set of rate equations for the modal amplitudes and carrier-inversion moments that describe the deterministic multi-mode dynamics of a semiconductor laser due to spatial hole burning. Mutual interactions among the lasing modes, induced by high- frequency modulations of the carrier distribution, are included by carrier-inversion moments for which rate equations are given as well. We ...
متن کاملExploring multistability in semiconductor ring lasers: theory and experiment.
We report the first experimental observation of multistable states in a single-longitudinal mode semiconductor ring laser. We show how the operation of the device can be steered to either monostable, bistable, or multistable dynamical regimes in a controlled way. We observe that the dynamical regimes are organized in well-reproducible sequences that match the bifurcation diagrams of a two-dimen...
متن کاملElimination of Chaos in Multimode, intracavity-doubled Lasers in the Presence of Spatial Hole-Burning
In this paper possibilities of a stabilization of large amplitude fluctuations in an intracavity-doubled solid-state laser are studied. The modification of the cross-saturation coefficient by the effect of spatial hole-burning is taken into account. The stabilization of the laser radiation by an increase of the number of modes, as proposed in [James et al., 1990b, Magni et al., 1993], is analyz...
