Analytical model of one-dimensional SiO2:Er-doped photonic crystal Fabry-Perot laser: semiclassical approach

In this paper, using semiclassical approach, we present a numerical simulation of light generation in one-dimensional (1D) photonic crystal laser based on SiO 2 :Er 3+ active medium with Fabry-Perrot (F-P) resonator. We use Transfer Matrix Method to study laser gain characteristics. Combination of TMM with semiclassical theory give us the lasers characteristics of small signal gain as a function of parameters: F-P mirrors reflectivity's, period of the photonic structure, geometry of the primitive cell as well as the number of the primitive cells creating the photonic crystal.
