  • Abstract
    The gain spectrum and its sensitivity to carrier density is calculated for a model quantum-well heterostructure semiconductor laser for a range of quantum-well widths. The gain spectra, especially for narrow wells, show better mode-to-mode gain discrimination than for the equivalent bulk laser. Good carrier confinement helps obtain this desirable feature.
