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 کاملImproving the Thermal Characteristics of Semiconductor Lasers Using a New Asymmetric Waveguide Structure
Self-heating leads to a temperature rise of the laser diode and limits the output power and efficiency due to increased loss and decreased differential gain. To control device self-heating, it is required to design the laser structure with a low optical loss, while the heat flux must spread out of the device efficiently. In this study, a new asymmetric waveguide design is proposed and th...
متن کاملSolitary and coupled semiconductor ring lasers as optical spiking neurons.
We theoretically investigate the possibility of generating pulses in an excitable (asymmetric) semiconductor ring laser (SRL) using optical trigger pulses. We show that the phase difference between the injected field and the electric field inside the SRL determines the direction of the perturbation in phase space. Due to the folded shape of the excitability threshold, this has an important infl...
متن کاملDynamics of two semiconductor lasers coupled by a passive resonator.
The stability of two semiconductor lasers that are spatially separated by a passive resonator is analyzed using the composite-cavity mode approach. We study the nonlinear interactions of three composite-cavity modes and identify regions of in-phase and out-of-phase laser locking in the parameter plane of the transmission coefficients of the coupling mirrors and the laser length difference. Bifu...
متن کاملLinewidth of monolithic semiconductor ring lasers
In this work we numerically calculate the linewidth of a single–mode monolithic Semiconductor Ring Laser (SRL) operating in the unidirectional regime. A new expression for the SRL linewidth is derived from the conventional Henry’s formula, and the importance of different physical parameters is discussed. In particular, the linewidth is mainly determined by the SRL diameter, because the waveguid...
