摘要
Using optical gain measurements and calculated optical gain spectra we analyse the various contributions to the threshold current observed for laser diodes. Our model is based on band-to-band transitions and includes internal polarization fields as well as multiple quantum wells. Besides good agreement between experiment and theory, our model explains the characteristic dependence of the threshold current on emission wavelength and well number. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
