Abstract
We employ quantum‐mechanical many‐body theory to determine both the radiative recombination spectra and the linewidth broadening factor in III‐V semiconductor diode lasers. We conclude correlation effects and the full k ⋅ p band structure in our calculation. Our results clearly illustrate the manner in which many‐body effects relax momentum conservation in the recombination process.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
