  • Abstract
    Gain saturation increases the radiative component, Jrad, of the threshold current density, Jth, and its contribution to the thermal sensitivity of Jth in short cavity or low QD density devices. However, the main cause of their thermal sensitivity is a strong non-radiative recombination.
