Abstract
In this work, we provide a simplified theoretical analytical estimation of the quantum cascade laser build-up time, accurately taking into account the main effects: the QCL overheating during the pump pulse and the photon mode filling effect. The non-trivial interplay of the mentioned effects brings about a variety of possible experimental build-up time behaviors. The latter range from decreasing curvature for low-power devices to non-monotonous function for devices performing at high power.
