Abstract
Physical laser parameters such as differential gain and differential r efractive index are determined for InGaAs/InAlGaAs quantum well struct ures by comparing experimental results of different lasers with theore tical data from transfer matrix model calculations. By using the deter mined parameter set, the wavelength shift with current lambda(I) is fo und to depend strongly in shape and magnitude on the end facet phases. Within one order of magnitude we found weak and strong variations rel ated to the variation of the axial nonuniformity of the carrier and ph oton densities with current.
