Abstract

The dynamical behavior and spectral density of the intensity fluctuations of optical radiation in the modes of an injection laser with strong high-frequency modulation of the pump current have been investigated by numerical methods. A method for transforming the Einstein-Fokker-Planck equation was used to analyze the effect of random fluctuations of the carrier and photon generation-recombination rate on the dynamics and spectral characteristics of an injection laser. The distribution of the time-averaged continuous and discrete components of the radiation intensity in the modes of an injection laser was studied as a function of the parameters of the laser and the characteristics of the modulation.
