Abstract
It is shown theoretically that the relaxation oscillation in the direct modulation of the injection laser is reduced by transverse carrier diffusion when the stripe width is comparable to the carrier diffusion length. Modified rate equations are derived by considering the distribution of the light intensity, the carrier density, and the diffusion of the carrier. By small-signal analysis of the rate equations it is found that the height of the resonancelike peak in the modulation characteristics is a minimum when the transverse width in which both the light and the carriers are confined is around the diffusion length.
