  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. We have measured the affect of strain on each of the recombination mechanisms that make up the total threshold current within 635nm laser diodes with a range of strain-well width combinations. Nonradiative recombination within the quantum well is a significant proportion of the total threshold current and determines the optimum strain-well width combination.
