Abstract:The effects of biaxial strain produced by the lattice mismatch of constituent materials on the optical properties of strained In_xGaxAsyt'l _y/In] _xGaxAs quantum well lasers are investigated.The optical gain and refractive index change of a biaxially stressed quantum well lasers are studied theoretically using the multiband effective mass equation (i.e., :. t7 method), deformation potential theory and Fermi-Golden rule, band mixing effect is retained in the calculations. It is found that the biaxial strain wo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
