Semiconductor Lasers: Stability, Instability and Chaos
Lasers are essentially chaotic system. However, semiconductor lasers are classified into stable class B lasers. Meanwhile, they are easily destabilized by external perturbations (introduction of extra degree of freedom). We discuss chaos in lasers and also instability and chaos in semiconductor lasers. Recently, new semiconductor lasers with extra device structures have been developed and they ...
متن کاملPhase noise of four-wave mixing in semiconductor lasers
A simple theoretical analysis shows that the linewidth of the conjugate wave produced in four-wave mixing in semiconductor lasers is equal to the linewidth of the probe plus four times the linewidth of the pump. Experimental results in good agreement with the theory are presented. This result implies an enormous enhancement in the phase noise of the conjugate wave and sets a limitation on some ...
متن کاملIntensity and phase noise in microcavity surface-emitting semiconductor lasers
The noise characteristics of vertical-cavity surface-emitting (VCSE) lasers are studied by using the Langevin rate equations modified suitably to include the enhanced spontaneous emission occurring in such microcavity lasers. The intensity and frequency noise spectra show the effects induced by suppression of relaxation oscillations. However, such a suppression depends on the output power as we...
متن کاملMode locking in semiconductor lasers by phase-conjugate optical feedback.
We show theoretically through computer simulations that phase-conjugate optical feedback that is realized through four-wave mixing can produce mode locking in multilongitudinal-mode semiconductor lasers. Phase-conjugate feedback, in contrast to ordinary optical feedback, directly couples pairs of longitudinal modes. For certain strengths of phase-conjugate reflectivities, the phases and beat fr...
متن کاملSupermode analysis of phase-locked arrays of semiconductor lasers: erratum.
The optical characteristics of phase-locked semiconductor laser arrays are formulated in terms of the array supermodes, which are the eigenmodes of the composite-array waveguide, by using coupled-mode theory. These supermodes are employed to calculate the near fields, the far fields, and the difference in the longitudinal-mode oscillation wavelengths of the array. It is shown that the broadenin...
