We show how only long time scales are involved in the hopping process. In such limit, the initialstochastic rate equations can be reduced to an auxiliary Hamiltonian system, and the dependence of thehopping on the laser parameters can be investigated. The predictions made from the reduced model agree wellwith the results obtained by simulating the full rate-equation system.DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevA.80.013823PACS number共s兲: 42.55.Px, 42.60.MiI. INTRODUCTIONSemiconductor ring lasers 共SRLs兲 are currently the subject of many experimental and theoretical investigations,ranging from fundamental studies of its nonlinear dynamicalbehavior to multiple practical applications 关1–9兴. In particular, the bistable character of SRLs makes them attractive forthe purpose of encoding information in the direction of emission 关1,3,6兴.Recently, highly performing all-optical flip-flops based ontwo coupled microrings have been fabricated 关7兴. The information is stored in the direction of emission and a counterpropagating signal could be used to switch the operation 关7兴.On the other hand, a device based on a single ring wouldbenefit of a smaller footprint and could take advantage of therecently demonstrated switching schemes based on one-sideinjection 关8兴. However, single-ring devices present a reducedstability when compared to coupled rings designs. In particular, undesired dynamical regimes such as alternate oscillations 关3兴 have been reported, as well as noise-induced modehopping 关9兴. The presence of noise-induced hopping isespecially detrimental for applications such as the realizationof optical memories.In particular, the results of a full bifurcation analysis performed in Ref. 关10兴 suggest that the shape of the manifoldsseparating the basins of attraction of the two counterpropagating modes is controlled by the phase of the backscatteringparameters. However, an investigation of the stability versusstochastic fluctuation has not been addressed yet. Especially,the important role of the linear backscatter phase between thetwo counterpropagating modes remains an open question. Anasymptotic approach to the activation problem consists in theuse of an auxiliary Hamiltonian system and in the solution ofan associate boundary value problem 关11兴. However, thelarge dimensionality of the system makes this analysis extremely intricate in the case of SRLs. On the other hand, theuse of a phenomenological model such as a double-well potential requires the fitting of a large number of parametersand loses a direct connection with the physically meaningfulparameters of the system. A similar problem has been investigated in solid-state ring lasers 关12兴 to reveal stochastic resonance, but it relied on a phenomenological double-well potential which kept hidden the real parameters of the system.In this paper we propose an asymptotic approach to theproblem of stochastic mode-hopping by focusing on the limit1050-2947/2009/80共1兲/013823共7兲of vanishing noise intensity. Two independent limits are considered: first the full rate-equation set are asymptotically reduced to a two-dimensional reduced model as described in关13,14兴; second, the asymptotic limit of vanishing noise intensity is considered 关15–17兴. As a result, we obtain an auxiliary Hamiltonian system which describes the modehopping process and contains the dependence on the originalparameters of the system without any fitting or any furtherphenomenology. The role of the bias current and the important backscattering phase are investigated. The limit of smallbackscattering amplitude is addressed numerically and analytically.The paper is structured as follows. In Sec. II we introducethe rate-equation model to describe the operation of a SRL关3兴, and we perform the two asymptotic limits of slowdynamics and vanishing-noise intensities. In Sec. III we discuss the optimal transition paths that are the results of theHamiltonian approach. Changes in the qualitative features ofthe optimal paths are discussed when the model parametersare changed.II. THEORYA semiconductor ring laser is a semiconductor laserwhose active cavity have a circular geometry 关1,3,6兴 as schematically depicted in Fig. 1.

A buswaveguide is integrated on the same chip in order to coupleout power from the ring cavity.We consider a SRL operating in a single-longitudinalsingle-transverse mode.

The two counterpropagating modes are consideredto saturate both their own and each other gain due to, e.g.,spectral hole burning effects. Self- and cross-saturation effects are added phenomenologically and are modeled by sand c. For a realistic device the cross saturation term is largerthat the self-saturation.In Eq. 共1兲, the spontaneous emission noise has been introduced phenomenologically as complex uncorrelated zeromean stochastic terms described by the correlation terms:具 i共t 兲 ⴱj 共t兲典 2D ij 共 兲, where i , j 1 , 2 and D is thenoise intensity. Carrier noise has been disregarded as its relevance in directional mode-hopping was proved negligible关18兴.For a small size ring laser, reflection of the counterpropagating modes occurs where the ring cavity and couplingwaveguide meet and can also occur at the end facets of thecoupling waveguide. These localized reflections result in alinear coupling between the two fields characterized by anamplitude k and a phase shift k 关19兴.The set of stochastic rate Eqs. 共1兲 and 共2兲 can be solvednumerically using a predictor-corrector scheme 关31兴 for different values of the model parameters and the noise intensityD . Examples of stochastic time series of the modal intensities 兩E1兩2 and 兩E2兩2, as well as the total emitted intensity兩E1兩2 兩E2兩2 are shown in Fig. 2It is clear from Fig. 2 that the SRL emits almost steadilyin one of the two modes until an abrupt transition leads tolasing in the counterpropagating mode.

A further analysis of the time seriesshown in Fig. 2 reveals that 共for the parameters chosen兲 twoqualitatively different transitions are possible. The first kindof transition is characterized by a long permanence in one ofthe states until the fluctuations induce a hopping to the opposite mode. The same time series reveal short excursions tothe opposite mode; however, as shown in the inset of Fig. 2the system does not settle in the opposite mode, and it always returns to lase in the initial state.012time [µs]34FIG. 2.

In particular, it has been shown that the transitions of the first kind are the result of a noise-induced activation process, whereas the short excursions are a consequence of the finiteness of the noise.In this paper, we aim to address the first kind of modehopping by formulating it in the form of an activation in anonequilibrium bistable system. It is known from the theoryof stochastic systems 关16兴 that activation problems can becharacterized by the mean first passage time 具 FPT典 acrossthe boundary of the basin of attraction of the initial state.

Nevertheless, one cannot introduce any ad hocmodel such as a double-well potential as this would introduce phenomenological model parameters which are not related to the physically relevant quantities such as k, k, or .However, from the observation that the escape events arerare when compared to the other time scales of the systemand the quasiconservation of the total power during the hopping, we propose that the hopping problem can be successfully described in the framework of an asymptotically reduced model 关13兴.013823-2

The value of D is theonly quantity that require a fitting in our analysis.In the limit of vanishing noise intensity D 0, anasymptotic WKB expansion can be performed for the probability density 关24兴. We stress here that we consider twoseparate asymptotic limits in our approach. The first limit共discussed above兲 is related to time scale separation and depends on the laser parameters. Such first asymptotic does notaffect the noise properties of the system. In what follows, weintroduce a second asymptotic limit that depends on thenoise intensity and not on the laser parameters.We consider the following ansatz for :cos cos K 共 , 兲 J sin cos 2 cos k sin 2 sin k cos sin , Ze S/DD 0,共6兲where 2 arctan冑兩E2兩2 / 兩E1兩2 / 2 苸 关 / 2 , / 2兴 represents the relative modal intensity and 苸 关0 , 2 兴 is the phasedifference between the counterpropagating modes.

As the phase space of Eqs. 共5兲 and 共6兲 isrestricted to two dimensions, it allows for a clear physicalpicture of the influence of all parameters on the dynamicalevolution of the variables in a plane. For a comprehensiveanalysis of Eqs. 共5兲 and 共6兲, including a complete bifurcationanalysis, we refer to 关10兴.We make here the assumption of uncorrelated whiteGaussian noise terms , for the angular variables too.

Consider a transition between aninitial point xi and a final point x f . A large action indicatestrajectory with low probability whereas a smaller action indicates a more likely trajectory. In the limit of vanishingnoise intensity D 0, the transitions corresponding to theminimum actions become exponentially more likely than anyother transition path, and only trajectories with minimumactions become relevant in the calculation of the probabilitydistribution. In other words, only those trajectories corresponding to a global minimum can be observed in a physicalexperiment in the zero noise-intensity limit 关11,25,26兴.III. OPTIMAL ESCAPE PATHS IN SEMICONDUCTORRING LASERSIn the previous sections, we reviewed the general theoryfor stochastic fluctuation in the limit of vanishing noise intensity. In this section we formulate the problem for themode-hopping in SRLs, and we discuss the general topological features of the escape trajectories that realize the hopping.During the regular operation of SRL, the system spendsthe majority of its time in the close vicinity of one of thestationary states. In order for a mode-hop to take place, thespontaneous emission noise must drag the system outside thebasin of attraction of the original state 共for instance CW兲 tothe basin of attraction of the counterpropagating mode 共forinstance CCW兲. As the basins of attraction of the CW andCCW modes are separated by the stable manifold of thesaddle SP 共see Fig. 3兲, the mode-hop is realized by a trajectory solution of Eqs. 共13兲–共16兲 that connects the stationarystate CW with the stable manifold of the saddle.In general there are infinitely many solutions of Eqs.共13兲–共16兲 that emanates from the initial state and reach theψH共p ,p , , 兲 4.5 (a)43.53CCW2.521.5-1.5 -1 -0.5(b)Sp0θCW0.5 1CCW1.5-1 -0.5Sp0θCW0.5 11.5FIG. 4.

IIA, inthe limit of small noise intensity D 0, the escape takesplace with overwhelming probability along the trajectory thatminimizes the action S. Such path is know in literature as themost probable escape path 共MPEP兲 关11,15,27–30兴.As the motion along the stable manifold of SP is deterministic and deterministic motion does not increase the action, the minimal action along the stable manifold of thesaddle coincide with the saddle itself 关11,15,27–29兴. Therefore, the MPEP satisfies the following boundary conditions:it emanates from the initial state CW 共CCW兲 at time t and converges to the saddle SP at time t . The transition to the opposite mode is completed deterministically byfollowing the unstable manifold of SP.We calculated the MPEP for a SRL by minimization ofaction functional 共17兲 along the solutions of Eqs. 共13兲–共16兲for different values of the system parameters.Some examples of MPEPs are shown in Fig. 4 for transitions from the CW state to the CCW state. As expected according to the previous discussion, the MPEP connects theCW state to the saddle SP and a deterministic relaxationcompletes the mode-hop to the CCW mode.It is clear from Fig. 4, that the backscattering phase kplays a major role in determining the actual shape of theMPEP. In the next sections, we will discuss the role of kand the other parameters of the system in the mode-hopping.IV. DEPENDENCE OF THE ACTIVATION ENERGYON THE PARAMETERS OF THE SYSTEMIn order to validate our analysis and to provide insight inthe dependence of the mode-hopping versus the parametersof the system, we calculate the activation energy for differentvalues of the current and the backscattering phase using bothnumerical simulation and the Hamiltonian theory.The full set of rate Eqs. 共1兲 and 共2兲 is solved using aMonte Carlo method 关31兴 for different values of the noiseintensity D . The activation energy is calculated by fitting themean-first-passage-time versus 1 / D . The dependence of theactivation energy versus current and phase k is shown inFig. 5 by markers.The theoretical activation energy is calculated by solutionof the boundary value problem associated with Eqs.共13兲–共16兲 and by minimization of the function S 关11兴. Theparameters are the same as in Eqs. 共1兲 and 共2兲, excluding thenoise intensity D which is fitted. The results of this calcula-013823-4

The agreement betweentheoretical and numerical values of the activation energy isgood.In Fig. 6, we show the dependence of the activation energy calculated by solution of the boundary value problem asa function of the backscattering phase k for different valuesof the bias current . We observe that the activation energyincreases with in accordance with the results of Fig. 5 andthe intuitive argument that increasing the bias current stabilizes the laser operation. On the other hand, the dependenceof S on the backscattering phase is nonmonotonous, indicating that the stability of the directional modes versus randomfluctuations decreases exponentially from a maximum at maxk 0.85. The loss of stability of the directional modescan be understood by considering the bifurcation scenario ofa SRL 关10兴. According to 关10兴, for the physically relevantparameters considered in Fig. 6, stable unidirectional lasingis possible between a pitchfork bifurcation taking place at k 0.2 and a subcritical Hopf bifurcation taking place at k 1.6. Therefore, the decrease in S for k maxcorreksponds to a loss of stability of the system when approachingthe pitchfork bifurcation line, whereas the decrease in S for k maxis consistent with a loss of stability of the direck0.6µ 1.70µ 1.80µ 1.900.5S0.40.30.20.100.40.60.81ΦK1.21.41.6FIG. 6.

The linearityis evident.Finally, we investigate the effect of a change in the linewidth enhancement factor in the laser medium. In Fig. 8共a兲,the activation energy is calculated numerically by MonteCarlo simulations of the full rate-equation model 关Eqs. 共1兲and 共2兲兴. A monotonic increase in the activation energy with is evident. An unexpected feature of the dependence of Sversus is the abrupt change in the gradient of S. Such achange in scaling can be interpreted by investigating the topology of the MPEP in the reduced model. A typical dependence of S on calculated using the Hamilton’s Eqs.共13兲–共16兲 is exemplified in Fig. 8共b兲. The same change inscaling as in Fig. 8共a兲 is observed. Moreover, this can beexplained by studying the different topology of the MPEP forparameters corresponding to the different branches of theS- curve.For values of lower than a critical value c, the MPEPconnects the initial stationary state with the saddle directly关Fig. 8共c兲兴, whereas, for c the MPEP surrounds the unstable in-phase bidirectional mode 关Fig. 8共d兲兴.
