| Summary: | A stability analysis is performed on the simple laser model which incorporates the Statz-de Mars rate equations. This is done by linearising the rate equations, operating the Laplace transform, and finally applying the Hurwitz Criterion of Stability. By this simple procedure, it is-conclusively shown that the laser model is always stable regardless of whether a linear gain or a logarithmic gain is used. even when lateral carrier diffusion is taken into account. An expression for the resonance fre- quency of the laser model using logarithmic gain, and excluding carrier diffusion, is derived. It is shown t~t when the gain coefficient constant, 13, equals the value .l/Tp, where Tp is the photon life- time, the resonance frequency reduces to that of the model where a linear gain is used. It has been found also that lateral carrier diffusion increases the damping of the relaxation oscillations of the laser. |
