摘要:
Effects of well number on temperature characteristics in 1.3-mum InGaAsP-InP multi-quantum-well lasers have been investigated. A smaller well number is suitable for lower threshold current and higher differential quantum efficiency at 25 degreesC, while larger well number produces better performances at 85 degreesC. Furthermore, lasers with a larger well number can achieve a less output power penalty at high temperature. For the first time, a theoretical model has been established to precisely explain the relationship between the characteristic temperature of threshold current and that of external differential efficiency.
