Abstract
Recent studies have provided sufficient knowledge about the dominant failure mechanisms for lattice-mismatched strained-layer heterostuctures to permit the design of thermodynamically stable strained-layer systems for device applications. We have developed procedures that summarize this knowledge for the working device designer, and apply these relationships to the design of ion-implanted, strained-layer, quantum-well lasers.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
