Dynamical stability of 2D topological lasers
Abstract
In this internship report, I have considered the topological laser built by amplifying the edge of a 2D Harper-Hofstadter photonic lattice, with the reservoir of carriers being treated explicitly. The dynamical stability of the resulting chiral laser operation is investigated by means of the Bogoliubov approach on top of the lasing state. In particular, I propose a mapping to the 1D model of a standard laser which captures the main features of the slow decaying Goldstone mode. Also, instabilities arising from the interplay of chiral propagation with refractive index nonlinearities and the non-adiabatic reservoir of carriers are highlighted.
