Abstract
The self-heating effect in 1.3-μm InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) lasers with different doping levels has been investigated by comparing the characteristics of the threshold current density (Jth) and modal gain measured in continuous wave and pulsed modes with the heat sink temperature ranging from 20°C to 120°C. The results show that the p-doping can significantly reduce the self-heating effect in QD lasers.
