摘要: An analytical treatment for carrier distribution in optical confinement layers (OCLs) of semiconductor lasers with bimolecular recombination is developed. On the basis this approach, effect OCL on internal quantum efficiency a laser evaluated. It shown that can lead to rapid deterioration increased waveguide thickness at high enough currents, and also contributes decrease current given structure. asymmetric, narrow structure avoid problem while still providing good-quality beam.
