Abstract
A model is presented for the spatiotemporal dynamics of gain-guided semiconductor laser arrays. The model goes beyond coupled mode theory and treats the array as a single entity. Numerical simulations of twin-stripe gain-guided arrays yield stable or pulsing outputs, depending on array parameters.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
