Temperature dependence of long wavelength semiconductor lasers

چکیده
We compare the temperature dependent characteristics of multiple quantum well semiconductor laser diodes and light emitting diodes operating at a wavelength, /z = 1.3 ,um. No model in which Auger recombination is the dominant temperature sensitive parameter can explain our experimental observations. We suggest that net gain is the appropriate temperature dependent variable which determines laser diode performance at elevated temperatures.

On the temperature sensitivity of semiconductor lasers
The temperature dependence of below-threshold emission from multiple quantum well semiconductor lasers is well characterized by a power law, in excellent agreement with Landau-Ginzburg theory of second-order phase transitions. We thereby show that it is the temperature dependence of net gain and not that of nonradiative recombination which primarily determines temperature sensitivity of thresho...

The Quantum Cascade ~QC! laser is a unipolar semiconductor laser that has demonstrated high performance in pulsed operation in the mid-infrared wavelength range ~4–12 mm!. There has been a large effort to develop such devices for even longer wavelengths. These sources would be especially valuable for the detection of large organic hydrocarbon molecules like the BTX compounds in the 12–16 mm reg...

We report a single layer InAs/InP (100) quantum dot (QD) laser operating in continuous wave mode at room temperature on the QD ground state transition grown by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy. The necessary high QD density is achieved by growing the QDs on a thin InAs quantum well (QW). This QDs on QW laser exhibits a high slope efficiency and a lasing wavelength of 1.74 μm.
