Abstract

Four asymmetric multiple-quantum-well (AMQW) laser structures have been grown and tested. The structures demonstrate that carriers are not evenly distributed across the active region of a MQW laser. Wells at the p-side of the active region are preferentially pumped indicating there are more carriers at the p-side of the active region than at the n-side. The structures also demonstrate that decreasing the height of the barriers reduces this effect and results in a more even carrier distribution. Thus, well position and barrier height are shown to be important design parameters for AMQW and conventional MQW lasers.
