  • Abstract
    The polarisation-dependent gain spectra were measured at ¿190 C for InGaAs InGaAlAs InAlAs SCH-MQW laser diodes. The peak gain for TE polarisation was much larger (>750 cm¿1) than that for TM polarisation, while the peak gain difference for InGaAs InAlAs DH lasers was as small as 15 cm¿1. This peak gain difference for SCH-MQW lasers is surprisingly larger than that for GaAs GaAlAs MQW lasers. This difference was explained by the polarisation-related selection rules for optical transition.
