Title: Nonlinear operation of a planar distributed feedback laser

Journal Article · · IEEE J. Quant. Electron.; (United States)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1109/3.27974· OSTI ID:5760000

An approximate method for the analysis of planar waveguide distributed feedback lasers is given. Symmetric index grating structures with and without parasitic losses are investigated. Characteristics of a planar distributed feedback Nd laser are obtained with the help of expressions relating the normalized small-signal coefficient /alpha//sub oMN/L, to the output power P/sub NMout/ normalized to the saturation power P/sub s/, the normalized volume losses coefficient /alpha//sub NMloss/L, the scattering losses coefficient /alpha//sub ML/L, and parameters of the waveguide.
