Abstract: In this study, the rate equation analysis of a BH-laser diode was performed for output carrier density (N_o) using the zero-degree solution of the Volterra series. The carrier rate equation of the laser diode was analyzed in terms of input carrier density (N_i) and output carrier density modeling (N_i-N_o), with respect to the DC current (I_o). The polynomial root, which is obtained from the zero-degree solution (N_o) and limit values of I_o, was found. For the linear operation of the laser diode, the range of I_o current was also determined using a linearization approach and the maximum value of N_o.
