Abstract

This paper deals with light emission from a single-quantum well laser diode where optical transitions betwen the first subbands, belonging to the quantum number n = 1, as well as between the second subbands, n = 2, in the conduction and valence bands have been considered. In particular, the case of strong-signal modulation has been investigated assuming a sinusoidally varying injection current I = I_b(l+m sin[27πν_mt]) where I_b, m, and ν_m denote the bias current, the modulation index, and the modulation frequency, respectively.
