摘要
The threshold temperature dependence for quantum-dot (QD) lasers with different degrees of inhomogeneous broadening are compared. By reducing the inhomogeneous linewidth, the "negative" temperature dependence due to thermal coupling of the QD ensemble can be nearly eliminated. Stable ground state lasing is obtained with a single-layer QD density of similar to 5 x 10(10) cm(-2) for a long cavity laser, while lower gain QD's and shorter cavity lengths lase on well-resolved higher energy levels.
