  • Abstract
    An equivalent circuit model of a quantum-well laser is given based on the three-level rate equations. Thermal emission effects and parasitic effects are considered, and an expression for optical gain factor is presented, it is shown that, based on simulation using PSPICE program, the small-signal frequency response agrees well with experimental data. The characteristics of large-signal modulation are also developed and predicted
