  • Abstract
    The differential external quantum efficiency ηextof Fabry-Perot-type GaAs injection lasers has been measured as a function of the mean reflectivity R . By evaporation of antireflective films, R has been varied between 0.25 and 0.06. The observed increase of ηextwith decreasing R is interpreted in terms of a simple model. Values for the optical losses α, the gain factor β, and the internal quantum efficiency at 77°K are obtained for individual diodes.
