Modeling 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 کاملCoupled Mode Theory of Photonic Crystal Lasers
The main property of photonic crystal is the existence of a frequency range, for which the propagation of electromagnetic waves in the medium is not permitted. These frequency ranges are commonly known as photonic band gaps, giving the ability to modify the structure parameters, e.g. group velocity, coherence length, gain, and spontaneous emission. This type of periodic structures is used in bo...
متن کاملEffective mode selector for tunable terahertz wire lasers.
We demonstrate an effective mode selector design that enables a terahertz quantum cascade wire laser to have a robust single-mode operation at frequencies much lower than the gain peak. This is achieved by selectively guiding the undesired modes into a lossy session while keeping the desired lasing mode largely unperturbed. The large mode discrimination obtained by this mode selector is necessa...
متن کاملSynchronization and multi-mode dynamics of mutually coupled semiconductor lasers
Dynamics of coupled semiconductor lasers is investigated by numerical simulations. A realistic laser simulation engine is used to study the synchronization and dynamical regime in two mutually coupled Fabry-Perot and/or DFB lasers. Both, singleand multi-mode operation regimes are studied with emphasis on the role of the multiple laser-cavity modes. Our findings indicate that the two laser synch...
متن کاملMutually delay-coupled semiconductor lasers: Mode bifurcation scenarios
We study the spectral and dynamical behavior of two identical, mutually delay-coupled semiconductor lasers. We concentrate on the short coupling-time regime where the number of basic states of the system, the compound laser modes (CLMs), is small so that their individual behavior can be studied both experimentally and theoretically. As such it constitutes a prototype example of delay-coupled la...
