Multimode Lasing in Wave-Chaotic Semiconductor Microlasers
Alexander Cerjan, Stefan Bittner, Marius Constantin +5
We investigate experimentally and theoretically the lasing behavior of dielectric microcavity lasers with chaotic ray dynamics. Experiments show multimode lasing for both D-shaped…
Why the laser linewidth is so narrow: A modern perspective
Alexander Cerjan, A. Douglas Stone
We review and interpret a modern approach to laser theory, steady-state ab initio laser theory (SALT), which treats lasing and amplification in a unified manner as a non-unitary sc…
Interaction-induced mode switching in steady-state microlasers
Li Ge, David Liu, Alexander Cerjan +5
We demonstrate that due to strong modal interactions through cross-gain saturation, the onset of a new lasing mode can switch off an existing mode via a negative power slope. In th…
Ab initio self-consistent laser theory and random lasers
Hakan E. Türeci, A. Douglas Stone, Li Ge +2
We review our recent work leading to steady-state solutions of the semiclassical (Maxwell-Bloch) equations of a laser. These are coupled non-linear partial differential equations i…
Polarization properties and dispersion relations for spiral resonances of a dielectric rod
Harald G. L. Schwefel, Hakan E. Tureci, A. Douglas Stone
Dielectric microcavities based on cylindrical and deformed cylindrical shapes have been employed as resonators for microlasers. Such systems support spiral resonances with finite m…
Dramatic Shape Sensitivity of Directional Emission Patterns from Similarly Deformed Cylindrical Polymer Lasers
Harald G. L. Schwefel, Nathan B. Rex, Hakan E. Tureci +3
Recent experiments on similarly shaped polymer micro-cavity lasers show a dramatic difference in the far-field emission patterns. We show for different deformations of the ellipse,…
