  • Abstract
    Interband nonradiative Auger recombination in quantum-well InGaAsP/InP heterostructure lasers has been calculated. It is found that the Auger rate is much reduced in the quasi two-dimensional quantum-well lasers. This suggests that the temperature sensitivity of quantum-well InGaAsP lasers is much less than ordinary structures with much higher values of T0at around room temperatures.
