✦ Synopsis
In this paper we investigated nonlinear properties and lasing in In x Ga 1-x As/GaAs multiple quantum wells grown by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition. A systematic study, performed by high excitation photoluminescence measurements as a function of excitation intensity, allowed us to identify the minimum well width for observing stimulated emission from well states. We also determined the threshold for stimulated emission for well and barrier lasing. Radiative recombination energies are identified by using theoretical data obtained in the effective mass approximation, including boundary conditions and strain.

We study inhomogeneous doping effects on the confinement properties of modulationdoped single nonabrupt GaAs/Al x Ga 1-x As quantum wells. We describe the inhomogeneous doping using error function profiles, and we solve self-consistently the coupled Schrödinger (with a position dependent kinetic ene
The electron energy levels in doped nonabrupt GaAs/Al x Ga 1-x As single quantum wells 100 Å wide are calculated. Interface widths varying from zero to four GaAs unit cells are taken into account, as well as band bendings of 0-90 meV. It is shown that interface effects on the energy levels are impor
In this paper photoluminescence measurements at low temperature under different excitation powers were carried out on an InGaAs tensile strained (x = 0.3) quantum well with InGaAs barriers lattice matched (LM) to InP. Evidence of a type-II recombination was found between carriers confined in the ten
Well-width dependence of quantum and transport mobilities of electrons in GaAs/GaAlAs multiple quantum wells is studied for wells with widths ranging between 50 Å and 145 Å. Experimental results are obtained from the amplitude analysis of the Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations and from conventiona
