Abstract

An analytical static model for two-section Fabry-Perot semiconductor lasers is presented. The spatial dependence of both the field and the gain is fully taken into account. The cases of either a loss or a gain segment coupled to a main gain section are both considered. The bistable and linear behaviors above threshold are analytically described. Models with no spatial dependence are also discussed. The validity of the model extends to any homogeneously broadened laser.
