Abstract
Analysis of light-current and tuning characteristics of a quantum-well laser in an external cavity is performed. The band diagram of the proposed tunable asymmetric multiple quantum-well heterostructure laser source under the forward bias is shown. The heterostructure consists of the GaAs-AlGaAs system
