Analysis of distributed-feedback lasers using a recursive Green's functional approach

A method is presented for obtaining the exact propagation constants (resonance wavelengths and threshold gains) for distributed-feedback lasers. The method is based on computing the exact Green's function for resonant cavities using a recursive Green's function approach. The net threshold...

Zusammenfassung:A method is presented for obtaining the exact propagation constants (resonance wavelengths and threshold gains) for distributed-feedback lasers. The method is based on computing the exact Green's function for resonant cavities using a recursive Green's function approach. The net threshold gains of distributed-feedback lasers are calculated and compared with the results obtained using conventional coupled-mode theory. The comparison reveals that coupled-mode theory is weakest for aperiodic structures.< >
