Effects Of Band Mixing On The Radiative Properties Of A Quantum Well
R. Eppenga, S. Colak, Martin F. H. Schuurmans · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1987
The effect of band mixing and non-parabolicity on quantum well gain and spontaneous emission is studied using k.p theory. Spectra of gain and spontaneous emission are strongly modified but the relation of maximum gain versus nominal current density is not strongly affected.
