摘要: We give a detailed theoretical study of the optical gain for compressive and tensile‐strained GaInAs/GaInAlAs quantum‐well lasers, including valence‐band mixing. demonstrate that with strained quantum wells, lower thresholds higher differential gains are expected. also show these characteristics even better than those most usual GaInAs/GaInAsP system. The good experimental results already obtained tend to confirm expectations.
