研究目的
To provide a rigorous theoretical and numerical study of FM combs, driven by recent experimental results, to explain the physics behind the formation of frequency combs in single section lasers without saturable loss.
研究成果
The study concludes that FM combs require spatial hole burning to trigger multimode operation, gain saturation to suppress amplitude modulation, and a minimum contribution from group velocity dispersion or Kerr nonlinearity due to gain asymmetry for a chirped output. The linear chirp is identified as a general phenomenon in semiconductor lasers, with the theory capable of explaining experimental observations across various types of lasers.

The study focuses on theoretical and numerical analysis, with experimental validation through comparison to existing observations. The specific limitations of the experimental setup or numerical simulations are not detailed in the provided text.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study is based on the spatiotemporally resolved Maxwell-Bloch equations in the slowly varying envelope approximation, including the effects of group velocity dispersion and Kerr nonlinearity. A highly optimized simulation tool was developed to reproduce experimental results and identify trends.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study compares simulations to observations in various semiconductor lasers, including quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) and interband cascade lasers (ICLs).
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Not explicitly mentioned in the provided text.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The methodology involves deriving a simplified master equation for FM combs from the full set of Maxwell-Bloch equations, using a Taylor expansion instead of adiabatic elimination to retain phase dynamics.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Numerical simulations are used to analyze the dynamics of FM combs, focusing on the effects of spatial hole burning, group velocity dispersion, and Kerr nonlinearity.
