Theoretical Analysis of Gain and Threshold Current Density for Long Wavelength GaAs-Based Quantum-Dot Lasers'

GaAs基长波长量子点激光器增益和阈值电流密度的理论分析(英文)

Quantum dot gain spectra based on harmonic oscillator model are calculated including and excluding excitons. The effects of non-equilibrium distributions are considered at low temperatures. The variations of threshold current density in a wide temperature range are analyzed and the negative characteristic temperature and oscillatory characteristic temperature appearing in that temperature range are discussed. Also,the improvement of quantum dot lasers＇ performance is investigated through vertical stacking and p-type doping and the optimal dot density, which corresponds to minimal threshold current density,is calculated.
