  • Abstract
    The first theoretical evaluation is reported of the effect of biaxial compression on the quantum-well GaxIn1-xAs/Ga0.20InAs0.45P and Ga0.20In0.80AsyP1-y/Ga0.20In0.80As0 .45P0.55 laser threshold current density. Reference is made to known experimental results, and a comparison carried out of the potentialities of the two types of laser.
