Wavelength Multistability in Ring and Fabry-Pérot Lasers:the Efect of Spatial Hole Burning

Abstract

In this contribution, we investigate theoretically the multistability by means of a travelling wave model (TWM) for a homogeneously broadened medium with the appropriate boundary conditions, that allow us to model RLs and FP lasers. We take into account that the presence of counter-propagating fields creates a spatial modulation or grating of the population inversion (D2). We compute the monochromatic steady state solutions of the system via a shooting method and we numerically perform their linear stability analysis by diagonalising the jacobian obtained from the evolution operator of the discretized system.
