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…
