Abstract

A microscopic theory is used to analyze optical gain in InGaN/GaN quantum wells (QW). Experimental data are obtained from Hakki–Paoli measurements on edge-emitting lasers for different carrier densities. The simulations are based on the solution of the quantum kinetic Maxwell–Bloch equations, including many-body effects and a self-consistent treatment of piezoelectric fields. The results confirm ...
