摘要：

Microscopic calculations of laser gain spectra are presented for AlGaInN wurtzite quantum-well structures that are under compressive, zero and tensile strain. It is found that the optical nonlinearities induced by the combination of strain, quantum-confined Stark effect and many-body Coulomb interactions give rise to optical behavior that can differ significantly from that in conventional semiconductor lasers.
