  • Abstract
    Nonlinear gain caused by dielectric corrugation resulting from the cavity standing wave of a lasing mode in semiconductor lasers is investigated using the perturbation approach. The results show that the nonlinear gain spectrum is asymmetric when the linewidth enhancement factor alpha not=0, and the possibility of single mode operation is greater at alpha =0.
