Abstract

New results of theoretical and experimental study in the area of heterolaser radiation MW modulation and formation of picosecond optic pulses through charge carrier heating in the active injection laser on a double heterostructure with classic and quantum well in view of electron-electron and electron-hole interactions are discussed. A model based on laser rate equations and the energy balance equations for electrons and holes in the active layer was used to describe the effect of carrier heating on the steady-state and dynamic behavior of the diode laser. Energy relaxation times were calculated by Monte Carlo technique. Carrier heating by an external electric field is very promising for the modulation of laser diode output up to the 50 GHz frequency.
