Abstract
Carrier relaxation dynamics in the gain region of semiconductors are of interest not only from a fundamental point of view but also with respect to the basic limits of semiconductor lasers and optical amplifiers. Of particular importance are relaxation effects resulting from carrier-phonon scattering. In this paper we focus on the emission of LO-phonons by charge-carriers in a nonequilibrium distribution.
