Efficient first-principles inverse design of nanolasers
Beñat Martinez de Aguirre Jokisch, Alexander Cerjan, Rasmus Ellebæk Christiansen +3
We develop and demonstrate a first-principles approach, based on the nonlinear Maxwell-Bloch equations and steady-state ab-initio laser theory (SALT), for inverse design of nanostr…
Generating and processing optical waveforms using spectral singularities
Asaf Farhi, Alexander Cerjan, A. Douglas Stone
We show that a laser at threshold can be utilized to generate the class of coherent and transform-limited waveforms at optical freque…
Modeling lasers and saturable absorbers via multilevel atomic media in the Meep FDTD software: Theory and implementation
Alexander Cerjan, Ardavan Oskooi, Song-Liang Chua +1
This technical note describes the physical model, numerical implementation, and validation of multilevel atomic media for lasers and saturable absorbers in Meep: a free/open-source…
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…
Ab-initio theory of quantum fluctuations and relaxation oscillations in multimode lasers
Adi Pick, Alexander Cerjan, Steven G Johnson
We present an \emph{ab-initio} semi-analytical solution for the noise spectrum of complex-cavity micro-structured lasers, including central Lorentzian peaks at the multimode lasing…
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…
