Jordan Edmunds's video: LASER Frequency Response Part 2 - Photon Rate Equation

https://www.patreon.com/edmundsj If you want to see more of these videos, or would like to say thanks for this one, the best way you can do that is by becoming a patron - see the link above :). And a huge thank you to all my existing patrons - you make these videos possible. In this video, we explore the first half of the LASER's frequency response - the photon rate equation. By linearizing the equation for the gain, this gives us the relationship between the carrier density and the number of photons within the cavity. This is part of my graduate series on optoelectronics / photonics, and is based primarily on Coldren's book on Lasers as well as graduate-level coursework I have taken in the EECS department at UC Berkeley. Hope you found this video helpful, please post in the comments below anything I can do to improve future videos, or suggestions you have for future videos.
