Abstract
Interband cascade lasers (ICLs) are power-efficient mid-infrared laser sources for applications in sensing of numerous molecules and in free-space optical communications. The static performances of ICLs including the lasing threshold and the output power have been significantly improved since its first demonstration by R. Yang [1]. GaSb-based ICLs have optimal performance in the spectral range of 3-4 μm, which is hard to reach for the quantum cascade laser counterpart [2]. This work proposes a rate equation model for studying dynamical characteristics of ICLs including the intensity modulation (IM) response, the relative intensity noise (RIN), and the frequency noise (FN).
