We introduce a set of effective Maxwell-Bloch equations for broad area semiconductor lasers, and study the long-wavelength instability of the homogeneous solution. Unlike in two-level lasers, the presence of the semiconductor alpha factor allows us to observe this pattern forming instability even in the frequency domain where the homogeneous solution emission has the lower threshold.
Long-wavelength instability in broad-area semiconductor lasers

Abstract
We introduce a set of effective Maxwell-Bloch equations for broad area semiconductor lasers, and study the long-wavelength instability of the homogeneous solution. Unlike in two-level lasers, the presence of the semiconductor alpha factor allows us to observe this pattern forming instability even in the frequency domain where the homogeneous solution emission has the lower threshold.File in questo prodotto:
