摘要: A microscopic theory is used to analyze optical gain in InGaN∕GaN quantum wells (QW). Experimental data are obtained from Hakki–Paoli measurements on edge-emitting lasers for different carrier densities. The simulations based the solution of kinetic Maxwell–Bloch equations, including many-body effects and a self-consistent treatment piezoelectric fields. results confirm validity QW description this material system with substantial inhomogeneous broadening due structural variation. They also give an estimate nonradiative recombination rate.
