Coexistence of Coherent Pulses Formed by Superradiant and Quasi-Stationary Modes in a Laser with Low-Q Cavity

  • Published:
Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

We perform numerical simulation and qualitative analysis of the earlier-predicted simultaneous generation of different quasiperiodic pulse trains in a continuously pumped multimode superradiant laser with self-locking of some modes. For typical parameters of a superradiant gain medium with a strong inhomogeneous broadening of the spectral line, the main features of the dynamic spectra of the generated modes and the statistics of the mode-formed pulses have been revealed in a number of typical examples of the combined low-Q Fabry–Perot cavities with distributed feedback of waves. Lasers with both essentially asymmetric and almost symmetric spectra of modes are considered. In the most interesting case of moderate exceeding of the lasing threshold, the spectrum consists of two superradiant and a large number of quasi-stationary modes and corresponds to the comparable (in terms of power) sequences of superradiant pulse trains and soliton-like pulses of locked modes.
