Theory of optical nonlinearities in bulk and quantum well semiconductor lasers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A many-body theory for the electron-hole plasma in a semiconductor laser is presented and evaluated for 3-D bulk semiconductors and quasi-2-D quantum well structures. Starting from the generalized semiconductor Bloch equations1 and using a Pade approximation for the optical susceptibility,2 gain/absorption and refractive index spectra are computed which clearly show the effects of Coulomb enhancement, bandgap renormalization, broadening, and plasma screening.3
