Modelling multimode dynamics of semiconductor ring lasers

Xing, Cheng (2011) Modelling multimode dynamics of semiconductor ring lasers. PhD thesis, University of Glasgow.

Abstract

In this thesis, a modal decomposition method and a time-frequency-domain formalism for the analysis of multimode dynamics of semiconductor ring laser are developed. The
diffusion coefficient is suggested as a crucial parameter to take into account. The directional switching dynamics and dependence on the operation parameters has been
studied. The lasing wavelength switching accompanied by directional flipping have also been studied. In this framework, a prior selection of the lasing mode is seen as a key factor for the numerical results.
