Mode Competition in Gas and Semiconductor Lasers
The output spectrum of both gas and semiconductor lasers usually contains more than one frequency. Multimode operation in gas versus semiconductor lasers arises from different physics. In gas lasers, slow equilibration of the electron populations at different energies makes each frequency an independent single-mode laser. The slow electron diffusion in semiconductor lasers, combined with the sp...
متن کاملDesign of External Cavity Semiconductor Lasers to Suppress Wavelength Shift and Mode Hopping
In this report, a model of external cavity semiconductor laser is built, and then based on this model a program is coded for simulating the thermally induced wavelength shift and mode hopping. By comparing the simulation and the published experimental results of two modified ECL designs we found that our simulation results agree very well with the experimental results. Through theoretical analy...
متن کاملTopological insight into the non-arrhenius mode hopping of semiconductor ring lasers.
We investigate both theoretically and experimentally the stochastic switching between two counterpropagating lasing modes of a semiconductor ring laser. Experimentally, the residence time distribution cannot be described by a simple one-parameter Arrhenius exponential law and reveals the presence of two different mode-hop scenarios with distinct time scales. In order to elucidate the origin of ...
متن کاملModeling bidirectionally coupled single-mode semiconductor lasers
We develop a dynamical model suitable for the description of two mutually coupled semiconductor lasers in a face-to-face configuration. Our study considers the propagation of the electric field along the compound system as well as the evolution of the carrier densities within each semiconductor laser. Mutual injection, passive optical feedback, and multiple reflections are accounted for in this...
متن کاملMode Synchronization of External Cavity semiconductor Lasers
In the last 20 years external cavity semiconductor lasers (ECSLs) have been the subject of extensive research due to their importance for technical applications like optical fiber communications. One of the most detailed investigated dynamical phenomenon occurring in ECSLs are low frequency fluctuations (LFFs) [Fischer et al., 1996; Fischer et al., 1998]. The intensity of the laser oscillates a...
