“…The model has been extended to take into account a quantum dot material model [24,25], hybrid mode-locking [26,27] and external optical injection [28]. Further, for a quantum dot model with ground-and excited state lasing, a multi-section modification of the DDE model was proposed, which permits us to take into account more symmetric cavity designs and tapered waveguides [29][30][31] (see also [32], where a multi-section model for a linear-cavity ML laser was developed).…”
