摘要: Experimental results on spontaneous emission rates from InGaAs quantum dot lasers that can be explained theoretically by considering the influence of nonradiative mixed state recombinations in dot-wetting layer system are presented. Our model qualitatively explains experimental such as an increase threshold current density, temperature stability, and a narrower gain spectrum due to doping active region with acceptors. also predicts moderate acceptor concentrations improve laser performance at higher carrier injection densities; but high deteriorate Auger recombination counteracts benefits increased rates.
