Abstract

The temperature dependence of the 2.3-2.6 μm InGaAsSb/AlGaAsSb quantum well (QW) laser threshold current is investigated. The Auger recombination and interband absorption of the QW laser are computed. Results showed that the process with hole excitation from the quantized level in QW to the continuous spectrum is the dominant Auger process of these laser structures. The temperature dependence of the threshold current is calculated based on the heterobarrier leakage current and modal gain of the QW laser.
