Abstract :
An analysis is made of longitudinal effects in semiconductor lasers with low facet reflectivities. For this purpose, a self-consistent model is used based on the beam propagation method, which takes into account both the lateral and longitudinal dimension. The calculations show that longitudinal effects have a significant influence on the output fields in the laser.
