Nonlinear Dynamics in Semiconductor Lasers - Abstract
Puris, Dmitriy
We present a general numerical model of the active waveguide with quantum-dots. The propagation equation in this model includes numerous effects: material gain and absorption, spontaneous emission, linear losses, free-carrier absorption, two-photon absorption and Kerr effect. Influences of these effects on the amplitude and the phase of the optical wave and their dependences on the photon frequencies were determined and compared with experiments. This model can be used to simulate the behaviour of semiconductor optical amplifiers, continuous-wave lasers as well as mode-locked lasers.
