This dissertation presents a wide-band lumped element equivalent circuit model and a building block-based scalable circuit model for multiple quantum well laser diodes. The wide-band multiple-resonance model expresses two important laser diode characteristics such as input reflection and electrical-to-optical transmission together. Additionally, it demonstrates good agreements with the measurement results of the selected commercial discrete laser diodes. The proposed building block-based modeling approach proves its validity using a numerically derived scalable rate equation. Since success in a circuit design depends largely on the availability of accurate device models, the practical application of the proposed models provides improved accuracy, simple implementation and a short design time.
