摘要：
The electrical control of the lasing wavelength in two-section quantum dot lasers is investigated. By changing the optical loss in the absorber section, the control of the ground-state (GS) and excited-state (ES) lasing thresholds and output powers is achieved. Additionally, a complex self-pulsation dynamics with simultaneous oscillations of the GS and ES intensities is observed. The experimental results are well explained in the framework of a rate equation model. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
