Abstract

We propose an asymmetric electron–hole model of an injection semiconductor quantum-dot laser, which correctly allows for relaxation at transitions between the electron and hole levels. Steady-state solutions of the proposed model, conditions for the simultaneous operation at transitions between the ground and first excited state levels, and relaxation oscillations in the two-wave lasing regime are studied. It is shown that the model can be simplified when the relaxation between hole levels is much faster than the relaxation between electron levels.
