Abstract

An active photonic lattice is characterized by cross-cavity gain modulation (hole-burning) due to carrier depletion from adjacent cavity interactions. A VCSEL array offers a generic example for studying the physics of these, inherently nonlinear, active photonic lattices. The interplay between the non-linear frequency pulling, which allows phase locking over the array, and the coupling among the individual slow cavity oscillations, creates a rich behavior involving both steady-state and dynamic effects.
