Abstract :
Differential gain (dg/dn) of AlGaInAs strained MQW lasers was estimated from relaxation oscillation frequency (fr), and compared with that of GaInAsP lasers. The estimated dg/dn of the AlGaInAs laser was 1.1×10-15 cm2 at 25°C, which was 1.4 times larger than that of the GaInAsP laser. The AlGaInAs laser also showed less temperature dependence of dg/dn. The degradation of dg/dn in 25-85°C was only 28%, while that of the GaInAsP laser was 51%
