A numerical scheme for calculating phase noise is proposed for hybrid square-rectangular semiconductor lasers. By establishing a two-section single-mode rate equation model driven by Langevin noise sources and considering the nonlinear gain effect, we numerically studied the phase noise characteristics and linewidth of the hybrid-cavity laser. The time-varying spectra of carrier density, photon density and phase are simulated and the frequency spectra of phase noise are presented with the help of the fast Fourier transform. With the increase of the bias current, the frequency noise has an obvious downward trend and a narrower linewidth is obtained. The linewidth of the hybrid square-rectangular laser is calculated according to the phase noise at low frequency. The simulated linewidth of the hybrid-cavity semiconductor laser is 0.36 MHz at the linewidth enhancement factor of 3 when the square microcavity bias current is 20 mA and the FP cavity bias current is 100 mA.
We report nonlinear dynamics in directly connected twin circular-sided square microcavity semiconductor lasers with mutual optical injection. Rich nonlinear dynamics including injection locking, four-wave fixing, and multi-period oscillation states are observed experimentally by adjusting the mode frequency offset between two circular-side square microcavities. Internal optical injection or mode coupling can be realized directly in the connected twin circular-sided square microcavity lasers, which effectively relaxes device processing techniques of the integrated microcavities for photonic integration.
