Amplification in Double Heterostructure GaAs Lasers.

Abstract

Regenerative amplification has been measured in a DH GaAs laser in two different geometries, including both discrete and integrated optics configurations. Regimes of strong and weak signal gains have been identified and measured, with gains being as large as 170. Comparison has been made between the experimental results and theoretical models. In general, the agreement is excellent. Details of the experiments and theoretical models are presented in this report. (Author)
