Abstract

A simple method for the determination of the capture velocity of charge carriers from a three-dimensional (3D) region (waveguide region) into a 2D region (quantum well) is proposed. The method is based on measurement of the threshold current density and internal differential quantum efficiency in a semiconductor laser structure. The method also allows determining the 2D carrier density in a quantum well, which is otherwise not easy to measure in a multilayer laser structure.
