Abstract

Phase locking of several semiconductor injection lasers via mutual coupling is a possible method for coherent power combination, In this report the equations describing an array of semiconductor injection lasers are formulated, their solution is outlined and the conditions needed for locking (synchronization) are derived in terms of both phenomenological and actual device parameters. It is found that for real devices these conditions are at present quite stringent but not impossible to fulfill.
