  • Abstract
    Pulsations in semiconductor lasers are frequently observed to occur within a range of injection currents above threshold. A model is proposed to account for the existence of the current range and attributes it to a critical optical power level at which photon induced modulation of optical loss takes place, such as due to the effect of self-focusing or lateral mode deformation. This value is estimated to be 0.36 \\times 10^{15} photons- cm-3for double heterostructure oxide-striped lasers.
