Spatial and spectral mode-selection effects in topological lasers with frequency-dependent gain

We develop a semiclassical theory of laser oscillation into a chiral edge state of a topological photonic system endowed with a frequency-dependent gain. As an archetypal model of this physics, we consider a Harper–Hofstadter lattice embedding population-inverted, two-level atoms as a gain material....
