Switching frequency for transverse modes in stripe-geometry injection lasers
Abstract
An expression is obtained for the frequency of a class of oscillations occurring between mirror-image near field distributions in stripe-geometry injection lasers. Computation of the oscillation frequency indicates that values in the GHz range can occur. A means of exploiting this high speed switching is briefly indicated.
