Statistical properties of one-dimensional random lasers

Optics 2009-02-02 v2 Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics

Abstract

Statistical properties of a laser based on a one-dimensional disordered superlattice open at one side are studied numerically. The passive normal modes of the system are determined using the Feshbach projection technique. It is found that the mode competition due to the spacial hole burning leads to a saturation of the number of lasing modes with increasing pump rate. It is also responsible for nonmonotonic dependence of intensities of lasing modes as functions of pumping. Computed distributions of spectral spacing and intensity statistics are in qualitative agreement with experimental results.
