摘要：
The two processes of gain switching and mode-locking in a semiconductor laser are studied within a single theoretical framework. It is shown that the pulse profiles generated for each process are governed by essentially the same equations, and that the difference between the two cases lies merely in the value of a timescale. The results are supported by computer simulations in which the dependence of the system dynamics on parameters such as the bias current, the modulation depth, the modulation frequency, and the level of spontaneous emission is explored.
