摘要
Temperature invariant output slope efficiency and threshold current (T-0=infinity) in the temperature range of 5-75degreesC have been measured for 1.3 mum p-doped self-organized quantum dot lasers. Similar undoped quantum dot lasers exhibit T-0=69 K in the same temperature range. A self-consistent model has been employed to calculate the various radiative and nonradiative current components in p-doped and undoped lasers and to analyze the measured data. It is observed that Auger recombination in the dots plays an important role in determining the threshold current of the p-doped lasers. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
