Abstract
A quantum-design approach to reduce the Auger losses in λ = 2 μm InGaSb type-I quantum well edge-emitting lasers is reported. Experimentally realized structures show a ∼3 × reduction in the threshold, which results in 4.6 × lower Auger current loss at room temperature. This is equivalent to a carrier lifetime improvement of 5.7 × and represents about a 19-fold reduction in the equivalent Auger coefficient.
