Experimental demonstration of the polarization-dependent photon-mediated carrier redistribution in tunneling injection InP quantum-dot lasers with external-grating feedback

摘要

Measured modal gain spectra of the tunneling injection InP quantum-dot (QD) laser with and without an external feedback are presented to experimentally demonstrate the polarization-dependent photon-mediated carrier redistribution in the tunneling injection QD laser. The peak gain wavelength in the transverse-electric gain narrowing spectra near threshold follows the external feedback wavelength. This indicates that the carrier redistribution in the QD-coupled-quantum well structure is determined by the spectral distribution of the stimulated emission, which can be controlled by external grating.
