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 terahertz repetition rate. As confirmed by the linear stability analysis (LSA) of the traveling wave (TW) solutions this phenomenon is triggered by an analogous of the Risken-Nummedal-Graham-Haken (RNGH) instability affecting the multimode dynamics of two-level lasers.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
