Abstract
We investigate the dynamics of heterolasers with finite-length planar Bragg structures. Based on the analysis of the dispersion equation describing the eigenwaves propagation in a Bragg structure, we present a physical interpretation of selection of modes with frequencies higher than the stopband. We demonstrate the improvement of stability by using the Bragg structures with transverse dimensions lower than the width of the active area of DFB heterolasers. As a result, the single-mode oscillation regime is sustained over a wider range of pump levels, and, correspondingly, of the output radiation power.
