Abstract

A theoretical model is demonstrated that is capable of simulating the frequency response of the photon density, carrier density, electron temperature, hole temperature, nonequilibrium LO and TO phonons at different wave vectors, and lattice temperature under the modulation of small-signal current. The results not only illustrate the different roles of carrier and lattice heating in the frequency response of semiconductor lasers but also provide a more consistent model for the frequency chirping
