Passage time statistics in semiconductor laser turn on

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)

The statistical properties of the time delay between the switch on and the attainment of a fixed value of the output power in single-mode semiconductor lasers are analyzed and discussed. In particular, we show that the only parameter needed to describe the process, when the laser is initially operated quite below threshold, is the value of the stationary output power of the final state, a result supported by recent experimental measurements.
