Abstract

Anti-competition of laser modes is observed in dual-wavelength semiconductor lasers with single gain medium. Under anti-competition, the increase of intensity of one lasing mode could enhance the intensity of another mode, which is opposite to the usual mode competition. In our experiment, anti-competition can be observed for wavelength separation larger than 111 nm, and gradually disappears for wavelength separation less than 100 nm. Besides, anti-competition can also be influenced by the intensity and the wavelength position of both modes. A simple theoretical analysis shows that anti-competition is due to the physics similar to optical pumping.
