The influence of gain compression factor on dynamical properties of single level InAs/GaAs quantum dot lasers

In this paper, by representing a single level rate equation model for InAs/GaAs quantum dot lasers and computations by fourth order Runge-Kutta method some characteristics of the output laser are considered. The change of photon number in time and current and also the output power versus current with different gain compression factors are investigated for lasing from ground state (GS). Afterwards, the response function of small signal modulation for ground state in constant current but different gain compressions is surveyed. At last, we find an optimum value for gain compression factor in lasing from GS.
