Abstract

The simple non-linear rate equations are used to predict the harmonic and intermodulation performance of laser diodes excited by an arbitrary number of input sinusoids with arbitrary amplitudes. The special case of relatively small input amplitudes is considered, and the feasibility of a closed-form solution is studied.
