Title: On quantum-dot lasing at gain peak with linewidth enhancement factor $α$H = 0

Abstract

This paper describes an investigation of the linewidth enhancement factor αH in a semiconductor quantum-dot laser. Results are presented for active region parameters and laser configurations important for minimizing αH. In particular, the feasibility of lasing at the gain peak with αH = 0 is explored. The study uses a many-body theory with dephasing effects from carrier scattering treated at the level of quantum-kinetic equations. InAs quantum-dot lasers with different p-modulation doping densities are fabricated and measured to verify the calculated criteria on laser cavity design and epitaxial growth conditions.
