Abstract
Modulation responses for a set of strained-layer InGaAs quantum well l asers as calculated by a new version of Minilase are presented and com pared to experiment. Based upon the agreement with measured data, Mini lase is used further to associate gain saturation and low frequency ro lloff with carrier capture in the quantum well. The capture rates, the refore, influence the modulation response in a significant way even if the time constants are much shorter than the inverse frequency of the modulation signal.
