Wave vector equation dependence on optical matrix element (OME) has been incorporated in determining the laser gain for these semiconductors having nonparabolic energy band profile. The effect of nonparabolicity is seen to increase the monochromaticity of laser. Intraband scattering and auger recombination present in the system have been found to play a major role in shifting the gain peak towards shorter wavelength, reduce line width and decrease the peak gain.","PeriodicalId":286435,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Microwave and Photonics (ICMAP)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129199385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For strains under 0.2% in AT-MZIs with a consistent span of 10 mm, the strain-induced interference wavelength shift increases from 0.5 nm to 8.4 nm as the average waist diameter of the two abrupt tapers decreases from 62.58 μm to 24.58 μm. Those AT-MZIs with a greater span between the abrupt tapers or a greater difference between the two taper waist diameters display a decreased sensitivity. It is also shown that the span between tapers in inversely proportional to the free spectrum range and the extionction ratio.","PeriodicalId":286435,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Microwave and Photonics (ICMAP)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126896362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
