Effects of backward-propagating waves and lumped mirror losses on self-induced transparency modelocking in quantum cascade lasers
Work to date on self-induced transparency modelocking in quantum cascade lasers QCLs has neglected backward-propagating waves and lumped mirror losses. In this work, we remove these unrealistic assumptions. The qualitative features of the modelocking are unaffected by this improvement in the model, but the parameter regime in which stable modelocked pulses may be found is reduced. This reductio...
متن کاملDynamics of actively mode-locked Quantum Cascade Lasers.
The impact of upper state lifetime and spatial hole burning on pulse shape and stability in actively mode locked QCLs is investigated by numerical simulations. It is shown that an extended upper state lifetime is necessary to achieve stable isolated pulse formation per roundtrip. Spatial hole burning helps to reduce the pulse duration by supporting broadband multimode lasing, but introduces pul...
متن کاملCalculation of the microscopic parameters of a self-induced transparency modelocked quantum cascade laser
A model to calculate the microscopic parameters of self-induced transparency (SIT) modelocked quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) is presented and the parameters are then calculated for a particular structure. These parameters are then used to calculate the gain to absorption ratio that is required to determine the required ratio of gain periods to absorbing periods that must be grown in order to obt...
متن کاملCoherent spectral bandwidth combining by optical pulse injection locking in quantum dot modelocked semiconductor diode lasers
An optical pulse injection locking technique is employed to generate shorter pulses from a passively modelocked quantum dot laser. The optical pulse injection locking enables the coherent addition of phaselocked longitudinal mode groups from two separate modelocked lasers without the use of stabilisation control loops, thus increasing the spectral bandwidth output resulting in optical pulses wi...
متن کاملMultimode dynamics and mode locking phenomena in QCLs
The dynamics of Quantum Cascade Lasers is investigated using modified MaxwellBloch Equations. It is shown that spatial hole burning and the Risken-Nummedal-Graham-Haken (RNGH) instability are the main causes for multimode operation in these semiconductor lasers. In 2000, R. Paiella et al. reported strong evidence of self-pulsations at the cavity roundtrip frequency in electrically pumped quantu...
