Abstract :
The rate equations for semiconductor lasers are extended to include carrier diffusion and combined with a field equation. A computer program is developed for both static and dynamic cases. For some current values static solutions have not been found; the dynamic calculations show that self-sustained pulsations appear in these cases.
