Abstract
In this paper we analyze the dynamic characteristics of an edge-emitting laser under large signal modulation in the frequency domain using a harmonic balance method. The simulations reveal the nonlinearities of the carrier dynamics in the quantum well region. They strongly influence the optical power in the higher harmonics
