Abstract:
We present a rate-equation model for two-photon lasers that, despite its simplicity, captures the essential physics of their behavior and affords an intuitive understanding of their novel threshold and stability behavior. We use the model to investigate the steady-state behavior of the laser, explore the stability of the steady-state solutions, and predict the injected pulse strength needed to initiate lasing.
