A physical model for characteristics of an optical amplifier-switch integrated device %K Optoelectronic %K integrated device %K quantum well %R 10.22099/ijste.2013.1063 %X A physical model is develpoed for operation of a functional quantum well optoelectronic integrated device (QW-OEID). Based on the model, static and dynamic characteristics of the device is analyzed numerically considering the effects of parameters such as internal optical feedback and lateral diffusion of carriers for both amplification and switching modes of operations.          %U
