摘要
We present a theoretical study of band structure and optical gain spectra of dilute-N InAsN/GaSb/InAsN and the similar N-free InAs/GaSb/InAs laser structures, which have a "W" band alignment. Calculations are based on a 10X10 k center dot p model incorporating valence, conduction, and nitrogen-induced bands. The two laser diodes are designed to operate at 3.3 mu m at room temperature. We find that the incorporation of a few percent of nitrogen in the laser active region improves optical gain performance, which leads to a peak gain value of approximately 1000 cm(-1) for a typical injection carrier concentration of 1 X 10(12) cm(-2) and a carrier transparent density of 0.54 X 10(18) cm(-3).
