The role of hole leakage in 1300-nm InGaAsN quantum-well lasers
نویسندگان
چکیده
We calculate the thermionic escape times of electrons and holes in InGaAsN and InGaAs quantum wells using the most recent input data. The short thermionic escape time of holes from the InGaAsN quantum well indicates that hole leakage may be a significant factor in the poorer temperature characteristics of InGaAsN quantum-well lasers compared to those of InGaAs devices. We suggest a structure that results in an increased escape time, which will allow the reduction of hole leakage in these devices. © 2003 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1558218#

Current injection efficiency of InGaAsN quantum-well lasers
The concept of below-threshold and above-threshold current injection efficiency of quantum well sQWd lasers is clarified. The analysis presented here is applied to the current injection efficiency of 1200 nm emitting InGaAs and 1300 nm emitting InGaAsN QW lasers.
