We present an experimental study and theoretical analysis of a semiconductor disc-laser system (VCSEL) under coherently controlled, phase sensitive excitation conditions. We show that the sign and the amplitude of the quadratical chirp modifies the total number and the average energy of the injected carriers. This strongly influences the laser gain and therefore the overall VCSEL emission. For the theoretical analysis of this effect, we use nonequilibrium simulations based on the microscopic carrier treatment of coupled Maxwell-multiband semiconductior Bloch Equations. This reveals the physical origin of the experimental findings as the change of the 1s exciton-resonance absorption of the quantum-well barriers due to excitation induced dephasing. The numerical simulations show good qualitative agreement with the experimental data.
