Abstract :
A longitudinal, self-consistent, static model for coupled-cavity semiconductor lasers has been developed. The method includes several longitudinal modes simultaneously and is capable of calculating the operating characteristics for both near- and far-above-threshold regimes. The model allows for the investigation of mode-selection mechanisms, tunability, bistability etc., as a function of various parameters.
