Abstract
We present an analytical model for studying optical bistability in semiconductor lasers that exhibit a logarithmic dependence of the optical gain on carrier concentration. Model results are shown for a Fabry-Pe¿rot quantum-well laser and compared with the predictions of a commercial computer-aided design (CAD) software tool.
