Abstract
A treatment of the dynamics in a semiconductor laser that is based on the coupled Maxwell–semiconductor– Bloch equations is described. It is shown that intraband carrier dynamics and interband Coulomb interactions significantly affect the damping of relaxation oscillations. The specific case of a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser is treated.
