Description

The differential gain and linewidth enhancement factor (α-factor) of a new material system InGaAsN/GaAs is studied using the 10-band k . p Hamiltonian matrix. A self-consistent scheme which involves simultaneous solution of the Schroedinger and Poisson equations is applied. It is shown that spectra of differential gain and α -factor have significant variation versus nitrogen composition and carrier density. The determined parameters and their variations play important role in designing practical structures based on InGaAsN/GaAs material system. (copyright 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH and Co.
