Abstract :
Charge storage injection lasers under transient forward bias has been found to be responsible for the difference in the observed threshold for a driving current pulse with and without another pulse preceding it. Estimated relative threshold currents of two successive pulses as a function of pulse spacing based on the charge storage model agreed reasonably well with the experiment.
