Rate-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 کاملComplete rate equation modelling for the dynamics of multi-mode semiconductor lasers
We propose a rate equations model for the description of a multilongitudinal mode semiconductor laser. We show how usually disregarded effects such as parametric interaction, carrier-diffusion and interference between the fields of the different longitudinal modes play an important role in the final operating characteristics of the laser. Parametric interaction induces a non-trivial distributio...
متن کاملLongitudinal 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 کاملSpatial Mode Matching Efficiencies for Heterodyned GaAlAs Semiconductor Lasers
High spatial mode matching efficiencies are experimentally demonstrated when open-loop frequency-stabilized GaAlAs semiconductor lasers are heterodyned on silicon p-i-n detectors. Repeatable values of 75 percent are obtained using two independent lasers. The mode matching efficiency increases to 90 percent when a single modulated laser is self-heterodyned using an unequal path length MachZehnde...
متن کاملModel for passive mode locking in semiconductor lasers
We derive and study a model describing passive mode locking—a set of differential equations with time delay. Unlike classical mode locking models based on the Haus master equation, this model does not assume small gain and loss per cavity round trip. Therefore, it is valid in a parameter range typical of semiconductor lasers. The limit of a slow saturable absorber is analyzed analytically. Bifu...
