Abstract
Recently, gain saturation for the first quantized state and a shift of lasing to transitions associated with the second quantized state have been observed in studies of separate confinement single quantum well (SQW SC) lasers.1-3 This paper suggests that these effects may play a dominant role in the major characteristics of the widely employed AlGaAs/GaAs SQW SC lasers.
