Abstract

A new model describing the decrease in the emission efficiency and optical output power of a semiconductor laser above the lasing threshold of the Fabry-Perot mode is suggested. The mechanism of deterioration of the output-power characteristics is described in the suggested model in terms of the achievement of closed-mode threshold conditions. Rate equations are used to analyze how the closed-mode threshold conditions are satisfied in semiconductor lasers.
