Abstract
The linewidth enhancement factor alpha in strained InGaAs-InGaAsP multiquantum well (MQW) lasers emitting near 1.48 mu m has been experimentally determined. The measured alpha at the lasing wavelength is found to be 2 compared to a value of 5.5 and 3.5 typically observed in InGaAsP-InP regular double heterostructure (DH) lasers and MQW lasers, respectively. The small alpha shows that single wavelength strained MQW lasers have smaller chirp width under modulation and also smaller CW linewidth. The carrier lifetime at threshold in these strained MQW lasers does not decrease as rapidly with increasing temperature as is observed for regular InGaAsP-InP DH lasers. This indicates a smaller nonradiative carrier loss due to Auger recombination in strained quantum wells.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
