Abstract
The effect of minority carrier lifetime on the impedance of the laser within a diffusion or a drift length from the junction is analyzed. Lifetime shorting due to stimulated recombination (which is a function of the injection current) is considered and the effect of cavity size on the ability to modulate the laser at high frequencies is pointed out.
