A classification scheme for the light-current (L/I) characteristics of a two photon mode semiconductor laser

摘要

The behaviour of a semiconductor laser in which two photon modes exist above threshold is analysed using the rate equations. This paper classifies the different qualitative behaviour of mode competition by using a single parameterγ.The simplified analysis, neglecting electronic diffusion is sufficient to explain the experimentalL/Icharacteristics of weak and strong polarization in semiconductor lasers which were previously treated theoretically using a power distribution model
