Abstract
The achievement of room‐temperature (300 °K) operation of Ga(1−x)AlxAs‐GaAs double‐heterostructure lasers with active layers of quantum‐well dimensions ∼200 A thick is reported. These devices are grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition and exhibit pronounced effects in the spectral and lasing characteristics that are related to the small active region thickness and are the first such effects observed for DH lasers in the GaAlAs‐GaAs system.

Quantum well lasers--Gain, spectra, dynamics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss a number of theoretical and experimental issues in quantum well lasers with emphasis on the basic behavior of the gain, the field spectrum, and the modulation dynamics and reveal that the use of quantum well structures results in improvement of these properties and brings several new concepts to optical semiconductor devices.

Quantum-well heterostructure lasers

TL;DR: In this paper, the steplike density-of-states of a quantum-well heterostructure can improve the operation of a semiconductor laser, which is explained in terms of the step-like density of states and the disturbed electron and phonon distributions in the quantumwell active regions.

Design of Fabry-Perot surface-emitting lasers with a periodic gain structure

TL;DR: A detailed analysis of a Fabry-Perot surface emitting laser (FP-SEL) which utilizes the recently proposed concept of periodic gain is presented in this paper, where it is shown that close to a factor-of-two reduction in threshold current should be possible; the ideal reduction of a factor of two is only limited by the internal loss of the cavity.

Low-Threshold Stimulated Emission Using Colloidal Quantum Wells

TL;DR: It is shown that colloidal nanoplatelets produce amplified spontaneous emission with thresholds as low as 6 μJ/cm(2) and gain as high as 600 cm(-1), both a significant improvement over colloidal nanocrystals.
