Prospects for truly blue ZnSe/Zn/sub 1-x/Mg/sub x/S/sub 1-y/Se/sub y//Zn/sub 1-u/Mg/sub u/S/sub 1-v/Se/sub v/ semiconductor diode lasers

摘要

We explore the feasibility of implementation of ZnSe/Zn/sub 1-x/Mg/sub x/S/sub 1-y/Se/sub y//Zn/sub 1-u/Mg/sub u/S/sub 1-v/Se/sub v/ separate confinement heterostructure (SCH) quantum well (QW) lasers by theoretical studies of their output characteristics. The calculations were performed for 1 mm long bar SCH QW laser structures. The physical model used in this work is based on the self-consistent solution of Poisson's equation, the current continuity equations, including the thermionic emission theory for carrier transport across heterojunctions, the photon rate equation, and the scalar rate equation for the optical field.
