Specific Features of the Injection Processes Dynamics in High-Power Laser Thyristor

A dynamic model of a laser thyristor based on a semiconductor heterostructure has been developed. The model takes into consideration for the first time the optically activated impact ionization in the space-charge region (SCR) and the nonlinear photogeneration of excess carriers in the base region, with the latter accounting for the threshold nature of the optical emission. It is shown that the ma...
