Mode Competition in a Fabry P erot Semiconductor laser: Travelling Wave Model with asymmetric dynamical gain
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report and discuss our main results for the multimode dynamics of a Fabry-P erot laser in diierent situations above threshold: mode beating and mode-hopping. A Travelling Wave approximation has been used together with a model with an asymmetric dynamical gain for the semiconductor laser which captures important features needed for the understanding of multimode dynamics.

Travelling Wave Model of a Multimode Fabry-p Erot Laser in Free Running and External Cavity Conngurations
We report the results of a numerical study of multimode behavior of a Fabry-P erot laser. The model is based on travelling-wave equations for the slowly varying amplitudes of the counterpropagating waves in the cavity, coupled to equations for spatially dependent population inversion and polarization of a two-level active medium. Variations in the material variables on the scale of a wavelength...
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 کاملUsing of Broadened Asymmetric Waveguide Structure for 980nm Diode Laser
Laser diode beam divergence is the main parameter for beam shaping and fiber optic coupling. Increasing the waveguide layer thickness is the conventional method to decrease the beam divergence. In this paper, the broadened asymmetric waveguide is introduced to decrease the divergence without increasing the optical power. The asymmetric waveguide was used to shift the vertical optical field to n...
متن کاملAmplitude squeezing with a Fabry-Perot semiconductor laser: existence of an optimum biasing condition.
The effect of gain suppression on amplitude squeezing with a Fabry-Perot semiconductor laser is studied with a semiclassical model. A strong decrease of the internal amplitude noise and an optimum biasing point with minimum amplitude noise are demonstrated. Small gain nonlinearities improve external compression.
