Abstract
The electron capture time via an electron-polar optical phonon interac tion is calculated considering the confinement of a phonon in a GaAs q uantum well laser structure. The effect of the phonon confinement decr eases the electron capture time about twice comparing the electron cap ture time obtained from the interaction of an electron with the bulk p honon.
