摘要：

We show that for appropriate layer widths the performance of ideal InAs/InxGa1-xSb superlattice-based midwave injection lasers can be limited by radiative rather than Auger recombination. The threshold carrier densities and lifetimes are calculated over the 77-300 K temperature range at 3.5 mum. Lifetimes are obtained from detailed calculations of band-to-band Auger and radiative recombination rates based on realistic nonparabolic band structures. This system is therefore a promising new laser candidate.
