Summary
Can nanolaser optimization include useful output, gain and threshold effects?
Combines SALT, high-Q perturbation theory and coupled-mode theory into a reciprocal-solve objective.
Demonstrates 2D and 3D optimization including spatial hole-burning corrections and gain diffusion.

Commentary
The simplification assumes a suitable high-Q, predominantly single-mode regime; it is not general transient spin-laser optimization.
Makes explicit why maximizing passive Q and maximizing useful laser output are different objectives.
