Polarization-dependent gain-current relationship in (111)-oriented GaAs/AlGaAs quantum-well lasers.

Presents a study that investigated theoretically and experimentally the gain characteristics in quantum-well lasers. Use of Hakki and Paoli's method in measuring the polarization gain-current characteristics of (111)- and (100)-oriented gallium arsenide/aluminum gallium arsenic single-quantum-well lasers; Details on the experimental results of polarization-dependent spontaneous emission; Conclusion of the study.
