Journal ArticleDOI
The gain and carrier density in semiconductor lasers under steady-state and transient conditions
B. Zhao,T. Chen,Amnon Yariv +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the carrier distribution functions in a semiconductor crystal in the presence of a strong optical field are derived and expressions for the gain dependence on the carrier density and on the optical intensity are derived.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamical switching characteristics of a bistable injection laser
TL;DR: In this article, the switching characteristics of a bistable injection laser with very large hysteresis were examined and it was shown that the switching time can be reduced by increasing the overdrive current.
Journal ArticleDOI
Study and application of the mass transport phenomenon in InP
TL;DR: In this article, a study of the mass transport phenomenon in InP is presented, conditions and possible explanation for the transport process are discussed, and characteristics of mass transported InP homojunctions are described and compared with those in the InP-InGaAsP heterojunctions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonparaxial spatial solitons and propagation-invariant pattern solutions in optical Kerr media.
TL;DR: This work shows that, in the (1 + 1)-D case, both soliton and propagation-invariant pattern solutions exist (while the standard hyperbolic-secant function is not a solution).
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase shift and cross talk of a self-pumped phase-conjugate mirror
TL;DR: In this article, the phase shift and cross talk of conjugate waves from a self-pumped phase-conjugate mirror are investigated by a phenomenological model based on the four-wave mixing process and measured as a function of a uniform phase change of a wave incident upon the mirror.
