Abstract
For the first time, a model is presented that takes the effects of concentration-dependent coefficient diffusion into account to determine the lateral distribution of injected carriers in an active layer of gain-guided stripe-geometry lasers. In high carrier concentration cases, computed examples demonstrate the lack of accuracy of the other classical models.Keywords
