    Dynamical regimes in a class A model of a nonlinear mirror mode-locked laser
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Vladimirov, Andrei G.; Kovalev, Anton V.; Viktorov, Evgeny A.; Rebrova, Natalia; Huyet, Guillaume
    Using a simple delay differential equation model we study theoretically the dynamics of a unidirectional class-A ring laser with a nonlinear amplifying loop mirror. We perform analytical linear stability analysis of the CW regimes in the large delay limit and demonstrate that these regimes can be destabilized via modulational and Turing-type instabilities, as well as by a bifurcation leading to the appearance of square-waves. We investigate the formation of square-waves and mode-locked pulses in the system. We show that mode-locked pulses are very asymmetric with exponential decay of the trailing and superexponential growth of the leading edge. We discuss asymmetric interaction of these pulses leading to a formation of harmonic mode-locked regimes.

    An optically injected mode locked laser
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2010) Rebrova, Natalia; Huyet, Guillaume; Rachinskii, Dmitrii; Vladimirov, Andrei G.
    We study analytically and numerically a delay differential model of a passively mode-locked semiconductor laser subjected to a single frequency coherent injection. The width of the locking cone is calculated asymptotically in the limit of small injection and compared to that obtained by direct numerical integration of the model equations. The dependence of the locking cone on the laser parameters is discussed

    Dynamics of an inhomogeneously broadened passively mode-locked laser
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2018) Pimenov, Alexander; Vladimirov, Andrei G.
    We study theoretically the effect of inhomogeneous broadening of the gain and absorption lines on the dynamics of a passively mode-locked laser. We demonstrate numerically using travelling wave equations the formation of a Lamb-dip instability and suppression of Q-switching in a laser with large inhomogeneous broadening. We derive simplified delay-differential equation model for a mode-locked laser with inhomogeneously broadened gain and absorption lines and perform numerical bifurcation analysis of this model.

    Hybrid mode-locking in edge-emitting semiconductor lasers: Simulations, analysis and experiments
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2012) Arkhipov, Rostislav; Pimenov, Alexander; Radziunas, Mindaugas; Vladimirov, Andrei G.; Arsenjevi´c, Dejan; Rachinskii, Dmitrii; Schmeckebier, Holger; Bimberg, Dieter
    Hybrid mode-locking in a two section edge-emitting semiconductor laser is studied numerically and analytically using a set of three delay differential equations. In this set the external RF signal applied to the saturable absorber section is modeled by modulation of the carrier relaxation rate in this section. Estimation of the locking range where the pulse repetition frequency is synchronized with the frequency of the external modulation is performed numerically and the effect of the modulation shape and amplitude on this range is investigated. Asymptotic analysis of the dependence of the locking range width on the laser parameters is carried out in the limit of small signal modulation. Our numerical simulations indicate that hybrid mode-locking can be also achieved in the cases when the frequency of the external modulation is approximately twice larger and twice smaller than the pulse repetition frequency of the free running passively mode-locked laser fP . Finally, we provide an experimental demonstration of hybrid mode-locking in a 20 GHz quantum-dot laser with the modulation frequency of the reverse bias applied to the absorber section close to fP / 2.
