Abstract

Since the invention of VECSELs, their great spectral coverage has been demonstrated and emission wavelengths in the range from UV to almost MIR have been achieved. However, in the infrared regime the laser performance is affected by Auger losses which become significant at large quantum defects. In order to reduce the Auger losses and to develop more efficient devices in the IR, type-II aligned QWs have been suggested as alternative gain medium for semiconductor lasers.
