Abstract

The thermal conductivity in quantum dot active region in InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot lasers was investigated. The device heterostructure is a multilayer In 0.4Ga 0.6As/GaAs grown by molecular beam epitaxy using self-organized growth. Particularly below threshold, there is a large fraction amount of nonradiative recombination occurring directly in QD active region. The results show that, above threshold, additional thermal effect are largely due to resistive heating from current injection, and hence QD and QW laser behavior above threshold is similar.
