## Abstract In this paper, we briefly describe the development of an advanced model of semiconductor lasers. Wigner functions and quantum Boltzmann equations were used to formulate the model. Our aim is to improve upon the presently used drift‐diffusion‐based models. Basic laser characteristics, su

Abstract
Based on rate equations of semiconductor laser, a symbolically‐defined model for optical transmission system performance evaluation and network characterization in both time‐ and frequency‐domains is presented. The steady‐state and small‐signal characteristics, such as current–photon density curve, current–voltage curve, and input impedance, can be predicted from this model. Two important dynamic characteristics, second‐order harmonic distortion and two‐tone third‐order intermodulation products, are evaluated under different driving conditions. Experiments show that the simulated results agree well with the published data. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract An intrinsic equivalent‐circuit model for quantum‐well lasers is presented. The model is based on the three‐level rate equations, and includes the carrier transport effects and the role of the gateway state at the quantum well. The simulation results of the frequency response are compar
