Threshold current and modulation response of semiconductor lasers

The possibility of carrier charge imbalance in the active region of quantum well lasers is demonstrated (in contrast to the usual presumption of charge neutrality in the region), and the resulting effect on the threshold current is examined. The investigations are performed with a simple rate equation simulator, as well as with a self-consistent laser simulator MINILASE. The models predict similar qualitative trends in threshold current dependencies.
