Saturated layer gain in waveguides with InGaAs quantum well-dot heterostructures
2021
Modal absorptions in laser-like heterostructures containing InAs self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) and InGaAs quantum well-dots (QWDs) have been studied. The evaluation of photoresponse as a function of waveguide length has allowed us to determine per-layer modal absorptions of 69 and 13 cm-1 for the ground state optical transitions of QWDs and QDs, respectively. The values of the modal absorption can be used as a measure of the maximal (saturated) modal gain. To compare quantum heterostructures with different dimensionality we have introduced the layer gain constant, a parameter characterizing the light transmittance through the absorbing or gaining layer. We have shown that the QWD layer gain constant significantly exceeds quantum well and quantum dot ones.
