Nn. Ledentsov et al., Interconnection between gain spectrum and cavity mode in a quantum-dot vertical-cavity laser, SEMIC SCI T, 14(1), 1999, pp. 99-102
The effect of self-adjustment of the cavity mode in vertical cavity surface
-emitting lasers containing three-period InGaAs-GaAs vertically-coupled qua
ntum dots has been observed. The effect originates from a strong modulation
of the refractive index near the gain peak, caused by excitons in quantum
dots. The possibility of single quantum dot lasing is demonstrated.
