Abstract
When a quantum well is surrounded by large barriers (i.e. larger than the mean free path of the electrons) the capture mechanisms are dominated by diffusive motion of the electrons in the banders. This is the situation governing the capture process for example in a separate confinement heterostucture laser [1]. In working conditions, the limiting times correspond to the slow diffusion of holes.
