Spontaneous emission spectrum of the non-lasing supermodes in semiconductor laser arrays
Holger F. Hofmann, Ortwin Hess
It is shown that the interference between spontaneous emission into the non-lasing supermode and the laser field of a semiconductor laser array causes spatial holeburning which cou…

Polarization fluctuations in vertical cavity surface emitting lasers: a key to the mechanism behind polarization stability
Holger F. Hofmann, Ortwin Hess
We investigate the effects of the electron-hole spin dynamics on the polarization fluctuations in the light emitted from a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL). The Lange…

The split density model: a unified description of polarization and array dynamics for vertical cavity surface emitting lasers
Holger F. Hofmann, Ortwin Hess
A rate equation model describing the laser dynamics of general one or two dimensional vertical cavity surface emitting laser (vcsel) arrays is introduced. It is shown that the theo…
