Effects of non-uniform charge injection on gain, threshold current, and linewidth enhancement factor for a 1.55 mm InP-based multiple quantum well laser

چکیده
In laser structures where the active region consists of several quantum wells, non-uniform charge injection can occur. We examine the consequences of non-uniform charge injection on gain, threshold current, and linewidth enhancement factor. Non-uniform charge injection in a InP-based multiple quantum well laser was considered in order to analyze effects on gain, threshold current, and linewidth enhancement factor. We find that although the best values for gain, threshold current and linewidth enhancement factor occur under uniform charge injection conditions, these parameters do not suffer significant degradation under even highly non-uniform charge injection. © 1996 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-8979~96!04721-4#

متن کاملTuning of the critical feedback level in 1.55-μm quantum dash semiconductor laser diodes
The onset of the coherence collapse regime, which is incompatible with data transmission, is investigated both theoretically and experimentally in a 1.5-μm InAs/InP quantum dash semiconductor laser. It is numerically shown that the excited state filling produces an additional term, which accelerates the route to chaos. The paper also experimentally shows that the linewidth enhancement factor ca...

Quantum-dot (QD) lasers exhibit many useful properties such as low threshold current, temperature and feedback insensitivity, chirpless behavior, and low linewidth enhancement factor ( H-factor). Although many breakthroughs have been demonstrated, the maximum modulation bandwidth remains limited in QD devices, and a strong damping of the modulation response is usually observed pointing out the ...
