Abstract
A simple theory using rate equations is presented to calculate the gain saturation caused by photon density longitudinal hole burning in semiconductor lasers with unequal cavity facet reflectivity and in a semiconductor light amplifier. Spatial varying gain factor is considered. The numerical results show that the gain saturation is negligible for commonly used semiconductor lasers and may not be negligible for the semiconductor light amplifier.
