Analytical approximation for the quantum-well gain and refractive-index spectra of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers including the effect of uniaxial planar stress
نویسندگان
چکیده
Starting from a microscopic model in the free-carrier approximation, we derive an analytical approximation for the optical susceptibility of uniaxially stressed quantum-well lasers at low temperatures by neglecting second-order contributions of the band-mixing phenomenon. The resulting polarization-dependent peak gains, differential peak gains, transparency carrier densities, and linewidth enhancement factors as induced by the uniaxial planar stress are discussed.

Photonic crystal patterns containing two defects were fabricated within a large gain area in vertical cavity surface emitting lasers. By designing effective refractive index changes in the region between the defects through cavity shifts caused by photonic crystals, it was possible to coherently couple laser light output from the defects. This enables a novel way to fabricate coherently coupled...
