Abstract :
A general formula for the transverse fundamental mode of oscillation (FMO) in a semiconductor laser is found, taking account of the saturation effect. The formula is applied to two specific cases, and the oscillation condiditions are discussed in detail for typical geometries, including the mesa-stripe geometry.
