B. Mercier et M. Himbert, MATRIX CALCULUS ANALYSIS OF COMPOUND CAVI TY LASERS - APPLICATION TO OPTICAL REINJECTION IN LASER-DIODES, Annales de physique, 20(2), 1995, pp. 63-64
The analysis of lasers with several sections is more complicated than
the analysis of a simple Fabry-Perot laser, one convenient method is t
he ''transfer matrix'' analysis which is described in this paper. The
matrix applies to the amplitude of the electrical field and permits to
calculate the resonance gain, the frequency and the linewidth of the
laser. We applied this analysis to a laser diode coupled with an exter
nal Fabry-Perot.
