Abstract

An extended model for the calculation of αaff is presented including for the first time the carrier dynamics in the absorptive grating. It is shown that for comparable carrier lifetime in the absorptive and active regions a significant reduction of atff may be achieved by the antiphase configuration of the complex coupling coefficient.
