Abstract

An electromagnetic method based on rigorous diffraction theory of gratings is introduced to analyze the modal structure of semiconductor laser cavities. The approach is based on the use of the Fourier Modal Method, the S-matrix algorithm, and the formulation of an eigenvalue problem from which the wave forms and eigenvalues of the modes can be determined numerically. The method is completely rigorous for infinitely periodic laser arrays and is applicable to individual laser resonators with the introduction of imaginary absorbing regions.
