We provide a numerical proof of concept of a stabilization mechanism for BAS laser sources. The scheme is based on the simultaneous introduction of in-phase two-dimensional modulations on the refractive index and pump ...

We numerically proof the stabilization of broad area semiconductor laser sources by introducing simultaneous in-phase two-dimensional modulations on the refractive index and on the pump (gain). We also examine the interplay ...

We show that the emission of broad-area semiconductor amplifiers and lasers can be efficiently stabilized by introducing two-dimensional periodic modulations simultaneously on both the refractive index and the pump (gain–loss) ...

Dynamical instabilities which lead to spontaneous pattern formation are present in a wide variety of nonlinear dynamical systems, both in nature as well as in technological areas. The instabilities may be saturating, leading ...

We show that modulation instability (MI) can be suppressed in vertical external cavity surface emitting lasers (VECSELs) by introducing a periodic spatio-temporal modulation of the pump profile which in turn allows a simple ...

Spontaneous pattern formation in a variety of spatially extended nonlinear systems always occurs through a modulation instability, sometimes called Turing instability: the homogeneous state of the system becomes unstable ...
