Abstract

In this chapter we discuss the theoretical basis for describing spatially inhomogeneous spontaneous and amplified spontaneous emission (luminescence) in semiconductor lasers. The theory builds on and adopts the concepts of quantum Maxwell--Bloch equations (QMBEs) describing the spatiotemporal dynamics of photoluminescence of excited semiconductor lasers.
