This appendix provides a more detailed account of the classic rate equation analyses of appropriately uniform lasers and shows the first-order effects of carrier transport into the active quantum-well region, and the effects of spontaneous emission and gain saturation on damping of the photon-electron resonance. The appendix ends with large-signal rate equations showing the influence of four key parame ters which shape the main features of the large-signal response.
