Semiconductor Laser Linewidth Theory Revisited [PDF]
More and more applications require semiconductor lasers distinguished not only by large modulation bandwidths or high output powers, but also by small spectral linewidths.

Is there a linewidth theory for semiconductor lasers? [PDF]
Semiconductor laser generation begins at a critical injection when the gain and loss spectra touch each other at a singular frequency. In the framework of the standard (Schawlow-Townes-Lax-Henry) theory, the finite linewidth results from the account of fluctuations associated with the random spontaneous emission processes. This approach is based on the

Optical frequency conversion using nearly degenerate four-wave mixing in a distributed-feedback semiconductor laser: theory and experiment [PDF]
An analytical description of nearly degenerate four-wave mixing in a single-mode semiconductor laser operating above threshold is given by using the rate-equation model.

Measurement of the emission spectrum of a semiconductor laser using laser-feedback interferometry
The effects of optical feedback (OF) in lasers have been observed since the early days of laser development. While OF can result in undesirable and unpredictable operation in laser systems, it can also cause measurable perturbations to the operating ...

Rate-equation theory of a feedback insensitive unidirectional semiconductor ring laser
For our recently designed continuous-wave and single-frequency ring laser with intra-cavity isolator, we have formulated a rate-equation theory which accounts for two sources of mutual back-scattering between the clockwise and counterclockwise modes, i.e.

Semiclassical theory of noise in semiconductor lasers - Part I [PDF]
A model of semiconductor laser noise is presented which includes the carrier density as a dynamical variable and the carrier density dependence of the refractive index. The Van der Pol laser noise model is shown to he a special case of this treatment. Expressions are calculated for all laser spectra and compared with their Van der Pol counterparts. The

Exploring Multistability in Semiconductor Ring Lasers: Theory and Experiment [PDF]
We report the first experimental observation of multi-stable states in a single-longitudinal mode semiconductor ring laser. We show how the operation of the device can be steered to either monostable, bistable or multi-stable dynamical regimes in a controlled way.

Theory of the gain of semiconductor lasers [PDF]
A theoretical, investigation is made of the laser gain associated with interband transitions in heavily doped semiconductors. Analytic expressions are obtained for the gain and quasi-Fermi levels considered as a function of the impurity concentration, temperature, and pumping power.
