Abstract
Biaxial strain applied to quantum wells of InGaAs grown on InP induces significant changes in their optical and electronic properties. We describe Fabry-Perot and distributed feedback quantum-well lasers grown with compressive or tensile strain and discuss the underlying device physics. We show that strain can be used to produce lasers with improved static and dynamic characteristics.
