The research on polarization states with local pumping in two-dimensional active random medium

Abstract

The polarization-dependent competition on inversed population with local pumping in two-dimensional (2D) active random media is investigated by simultaneously solving Maxwell's equations and rate equations of electronic population for both transverse magnetic (TM) and transverse electric (TE) modes. The threshold property of the two polarization states with local pumping is analyzed. Results show that the lasing threshold of TM modes is lower than that of TE ones when the radius of the local pumping region is suitably selected, and the case would be contrary when the selected radius of the local pumping region is excessive.
