Self-pulsing in single section ring lasers based on Quantum Dot materials: theory and simulations
Abstract
We studied theoretically coherent phenomena in the multimode dynamics of single section semiconductor ring lasers with Quantum Dots (QDs) active region. In the unidirectional ring configuration our simulations show the occurrence of self-mode-locking in the system leading to ultra-short pulses (sub-picoseconds) with a THz repetition rate. As confirmed by the Linear Stability Analysis (LSA) of the Traveling Wave (TW) Solutions this phenomenon is triggered by the analogous of the Risken-Nummedal-Graham-Haken (RNGH) instability affecting the multimode dynamics of two-level lasers.
