    Summary
    The dynamic characteristics of an edge-emitting laser under large-signal modulation are analyzed in the frequency domain using a harmonic balance method on device level. The simulations reveal the nonlinearities of the carrier dynamics in the quantum well region which strongly influence the optical power in the higher harmonics
