Abstract

In this paper, we study the scattering and eigenvalue problems for a periodic open optical resonator that is an infinite chain of active circular cylindrical quantum wires standing in free space. The scattering problem is solved by the method of partial separation of variables. The eigenvalue problem differs from the first one by the absence of the incident field and presence of ldquoactive propertiesrdquo of cylinders and yields the frequencies and thresholds of lasing.
