Description
Summary:A study on the design of 1.55- m InGaAlAs/InP quantum-well laser (QWL) is conducted to investigate the effect of various design parameters on the laser’s performance and to design an improved laser structure. The study is separated into stages; it begins with an extensive review on InGaAlAs/InP, followed by the analysis on InGaAlAs/InP material system, and completed with the investigation on the design of QWL. Numerical analysis is employed in the study. A consistent set of InGaAlAs/InP material parameters had been determined and the laser’s light-current performance was compared against experimental result to ensure the accuracy of the results.
