Abstract

In this paper a mathematical model for the dynamical behavior of multisection DFB (distributed feedback) semiconductor lasers in the case of arbitrarily space depending carrier densities is investigated. We introduce a suitable weak formulation of the initial boundary value problem and prove existence, uniqueness and some regularity properties of the solution. The assumptions on the data are quite general, in particular, the physically relevant case of piecewise smooth, but discontinuous coefficients is included.
