Frequency locking in weakly coupled lasers
Abstract
A method is proposed for solving the coupled-laser problem that leads to an analytical expression for the lock band. The case of two weakly coupled lasers is treated, but extension to multiple coupled lasers is possible. The method works best with approximately equal intensities in the different lasers, which is consistent with the way coupled lasers should operate for optimal far-field performance.
