Abstract
A fully self-consistent model for DH-lasers is proposed, in which the coupling between the current injection and the active layer carrier concentration has been taken into account. It is found that this interaction has an appreciable influence on the mode displacement along the lateral direction, at high injection levels, due to preferential injection.
