Frequency-domain modeling of semiconductor mode lock lasers

Chow, Weng W.; Liu, S.; Norman, J.C.; Duan, J.; Grillot, F.; Bowers, J.E.

A frequency-domain description of semiconductor mode-locked lasers is presented. The approach provides self-consistent accounting of locking mechanism, gain saturation, mode competition and carrier-induced refractive index, in addition to directly connecting mode-locking performance to the bandstructure.
