Abstract :
Summary form only given. The optical anisotropy in the semiconductor quantum wires (QWRs) largely depend on the shapes of quantum-confined structures that modify. the wave functions of the electronic states. We studied the polarization anisotropy of photoluminescence (PL) and lasing from the cleaved edges of the ridge GaAs/Al/sub 0.2/Ga/sub 0.8/As QWR laser structures, and considered the wave functions of the electronic states.
