Abstract:   (1065 Views)
Cavity Solitons (CSs) in an injected broad-area semiconductor laser with intracavity saturable absorber exhibit phase noise free and high-contrast intensity oscillations in period-one dynamical state. The continuous-wave periodic intensity oscillation of the CSs has a frequency well beyond the relaxation oscillation frequency and can be regarded as a photonic microwave source. Here we numerically investigate the effect of linewidth enhancement factor on the dynamical characteristics of CSs in the period-one regime. We show that in a fixed injection amplitude, it has a key role in shifting the oscillation frequencies of the period-one CSs and that its effects strongly depend on the cavity detuning value.
Keywords: Cavity Solitons, microwave photonics, period-one state, linewidth enhancement factor
