Gain saturation effects in supermodes of phase-locked semiconductor laser arraysA basic modal analysis that includes gain saturation effects in phase-locked semiconductor laser arrays is presented. For a particular supermode operation, different lasers in the array emit different amounts of light, and hence their (waveguide) propagation constants are modified differently. Solving the lasers' rate equations self-consistently with the coupled-mode wave equations seems to provide an answer that is in much better agreement with experimental results than the result using only the coupled-mode analysis.
