A relationship for temperature dependence of threshold current for 1.3-μm compressively strained-layer multiple-quantum-well lasers
Abstract
Assuming that the differential gain is a linear function of temperature, a formula is derived to describe the threshold current as a function of temperature. A maximum operating temperature, Tmax which is related to the fundamental physical properties (such as differential gain, free carrier loss and intervalence band absorption) of the lasers appears naturally in the formula, at which lasing ceases. To experimentally investigate the …
