Abstract
Based on detailed valence band structure, a Monte Carlo analysis of the Auger recombination effects in compressively strained quantum-well diode lasers has been carried out. The recombination current is found to increase with carrier density, but at a rate far less rapidly than the conventional n 3-rule has suggested. At moderate carrier densities, the recombination current is also found to decrease exponentially with increasing strain
