Abstract
We analyze some of the fundamental issues concerning the suitability of high-β laser devices for information encoding by using a Stochastic Simulator. Modulating the pump in a square-wave fashion, to encode sequences of 0 and 1 levels, we study the influence of offset (or bias) and modulation amplitude on the fidelity of the nanolaser output. The impact of the cavity relaxation rate is also discussed.
