Abstract: | Semiconductor laser heterostructures containing five and ten sheets of InAs/GaAs QDs on GaAs substrates, with an emission wavelength of ~1.3 μm, have been studied. Dependences of the nonradiative lifetime and effective Auger coefficient in QDs are obtained from an analysis of temperature and current dependences of the efficiency of spontaneous radiative recombination. The zero-threshold Auger recombination channel in QDs is shown to dominate at low (below 200 K) temperature, whereas at higher temperatures the quasithreshold channel becomes dominant. The effective 3D Auger coefficient is estimated in the approximation of a spherical QD, and a good agreement with the experimental data is obtained. |
