T. Fishman et al., Modal expansion analysis of strained photonic lattices based on vertical cavity surface emitting laser arrays, APPL PHYS L, 74(24), 1999, pp. 3595-3597
The optical modes of lasing photonic lattices incorporating alternating-she
ar strain were analyzed using a background-resonator mode expansion model.
The model correctly explains the observed locking of the photon mode near f
ields to square or hexagonal-like lattice patterns for subcritical strain v
alues, as well as the abrupt switching between the two mode patterns. Contr
ol of the optical mode switching point by adjusting the lattice reflectivit
y is proposed and analyzed. (c) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-
