Gain-current relationships in quantum-dot and quantum-well lasers: Theory and experiment

Chow, Weng W.; Liu, A.Y.; Gossard, A.C.; Bowers, J.E.; Jahnke, F.

The gain-current relationships for quantum-dot and quantum-well lasers are compared experimentally and theoretically. Rigorous treatment of collision effects using quantum-kinetic equations improves precision in determination of extrinsic parameters and prediction of performance.
