Theory of Direct-Transition Optical Gain in a Novel n+ Doping Tensile-Strained Ge/GeSiSn-on-Si Quantum well Laser

Article Preview

Abstract:

The band structure and optical gain of a novel n+ doping tensile-strained Ge/GeSiSn quantum well are investigated by using an 8-band k·p method. The doping effect in Ge quantum well and the effect of the carrier leakage into L valley on the optical gain will also be considered. The E-k dispersion curves and optical gain spectra will be obtained and discussed.
