Analysis of semiconductor microcavity lasers using rate equations
Abstract
The rate equations for a microcavity semiconductor laser are solved and the steady-state behavior of the laser and some of its dynamic characteristics are investigated. It is shown that by manipulating the mode density and the spontaneous decay rates of the cavity modes, the threshold gain can be decreased and the modulation speed can be improved. However, in order to fully exploit the possibilities which the modification of the spontaneous decay opens up, the active material volume in the cavity must be smaller than a certain value. Threshold current using different definitions, population inversion factor, L-I curves, linewidth, and modulation response are discussed.>

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
