Extraction of rate-equation parameters from optical modal gain measurements for multiple-quantum-well semiconductor lasers

摘要

Rate equations for multiple-quantum-well (MQW) laser structure with carrier transport effects and advanced models of optical modal gain were used to extract relevant laser's parameters used in simulations. The many-body effects of bandgap renormalization, Coulombic scattering interactions, and a non-Markovian distribution were included in gain calculations. The importance of carrier leakage for that particular structure is indicated.
