Many-body effects in gain and refractive-index spectra of bulk and quantum-well semiconductor lasers. Report for 1 July-31 December 1989

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6750763

Gain and refractive-index spectra for bulk and quantum-well semiconductor lasers are computed using quantum-mechanical many-body theory. The results clearly show the influence of band-gap renormalization, broadening, and Coulomb enhancement on the gain, the absorption, and the refractive-index spectra.
