摘要: The modal gain of an InAs/GaAs self-organized quantum dot laser is determined from a measurement the normal incidence, interband photocurrent. maximum ground state transition shown to have value (7±3) cm−1, considerably smaller than typical values for comparable well lasers. photocurrent technique demonstrated be convenient and simple method determining spectral form comparing different devices. consequences small characteristics are discussed.
