Abstract
We develop a nonlinear model of a laser exploiting two-dimensional (2D) distributed feedback (2D DFL). This feedback mechanism can be realized in a 2D Bragg resonator formed by a dielectric structure with the thickness having double-periodical sinusoidal or chessboard modulation. A 2D Bragg resonator is shown to possess high selectivity over both the longitudinal and the transverse coordinates and to have fundamental modes in the center of the forbidden band gap. Within the semiclassical approach, we study the nonlinear dynamics of 2D DFL and demonstrate spatial synchronization of radiation from an extended active medium. Specific features of 2D DFL operation with active medium amplifying modes of TM and TE (quantum-well lasers) polarization are also discussed.
