Abstract :
T0-values of bulk and quantum-well lasers should be compared for materials with the same laser wavelength. Theoretical considerations show that the T0-value in the quantum-well case in enhanced by a factor f=1.5 if the Auger recombination is negligible (as in GaAs), but only by a factor f≃1.2 if it plays a role (as in GaInAsP)
