Abstract
The quantum-well laser is described in terms of the appropriate quasi-Fermi levels and Einstein coefficient for stimulated emission. Emission frequencies, thresholds currents temperature dependencies, and linewidths are determined as a function of the quantum-well parameters, the photon lifetime, the temperature, and the emission coefficient. Correlation with existing data is demonstrated.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
