Abstract

Carrier relaxation dynamics in the gain region of semiconductors are of interest not only from a fundamental point of view but also with respect to the basic limits of semiconductor lasers and optical amplifiers. Of particular importance are relaxation effects resulting from carrier-phonon scattering. This paper focus on the emission of LO-phonons by charge-carriers in a nonequilibrium distribution. The nonequilibrium distribution is generated in a cool electron hole plasma by spectral hole burning.
