A probability-amplitude transfer matrix model for distributed-feedback laser structures
Abstract
Two different treatments of spontaneous emission in distributed-feedback (DFB) lasers were found in the literature, but adequate explanations for the different treatments were not found. Using an approach that allows comparison of the two different treatments of spontaneous emission, we show that the different treatments can lead to different spectral predictions. The difference in spectral predictions is negligible in Fabry-Perot lasers and …
