In this paper, we describe a more accurate method to calculate the gain saturation behavior in a QW semiconductor laser traveling wave amplifier. Solving the rate equation for the carrier density in its steady state condition in conjunction with the gain and recombination rate calculated using Kane-type Hamiltonian, a rigorous relation is derived for the gain saturation behavior with increasing photon density.
