Abstract :
An analytical analysis on turn-on delay and rise time for quantum cascade laser upon switching on is presented here. Numerical solution for the rate equations is presented and comparison between analytical and numerical solution shows good agreement. Effect of varying injected current value on turn-on delay and rise time is observed. Variation of bias current from zero up to threshold value is used.
