Abstract
The temperature dependence of Auger recombination in InGaAsP can be described by two regions, one with a slow increase of the Auger coefficient and one with a strong increase. This behaviour is similar to that of the threshold current of an InGaAsP laser. In particular, the slope of the temperature curve of the Auger coefficient changes at T = 255 K, which is exactly the break point temperature of the threshold current. Auger recombination therefore seems to be the most important cause for the temperature dependence of the threshold current in InGaAsP lasers.Keywords
