Abstract
Previous studies[1-3] of switch-on times in the presence of an injected signal considered class A-lasers. Here we consider the suitability of semiconductor lasers for detection of weak signals. The main difference with former studies is that now the carrier number cannot be adiabatically eliminated, so that the laser frequency is not constant during the laser switch-on.
