  • Abstract
    The optical gain spectra for interdiffused GaxIn1-xN0.04As0.96-GaAs single quantum wells are studied theoretically using Fick´s law and the Fermi golden rule. Due to quantum well interdiffusion, the peak gain and the shift of the gain peaks vary with the diffusion lengths. The results show that the interdiffusion technique can be used to tune the operating wavelength for multi-wavelength laser diode applications without degradation of device performance
