Abstract

A formula for the ratio of the Auger recombination rates in quantum-well and bulk structures is derived. Significant changes in the Auger recombination in long-wavelength lasers are not expected on using a quantum well instead of a conventional double heterostructure unless the carrier density is reduced.
