dots (QDs) embedded in an InGaAs quantum well (QW). Variations in the In composition of
the QW can significantly alter the emission wavelength up to 1.3 μ m and emission
efficiency. Lasing operation at room temperature is obtained from a 2-mm-long device
containing five stacked GaSb QDs in In 0.13 Ga 0.87 As QWs at 1.026 μ m with a threshold
current density of 860 A∕ cm 2. The probable lasing transition involves electrons and …
