Abstract

In the paper, the self-consistent optical–electrical–thermal-gain model of the oxide-confined long-wavelength 1.3-μm quantum-dot (InGa)As/GaAs diode laser is demonstrated. The model has been applied to analyse room-temperature (RT) threshold-operation characteristics of the advanced laser of this kind. It may be used to describe physics of the above arsenide-based diode lasers to better understand their threshold performance and finally to optimize their structures.
