The role of vertical quantum wells in carrier trapping in v-groove quantum wire lasers

We report a theoretical investigation of carrier trapping in GaAs v-groove quantum wire structures. Our results show that trapping is fast in wires confined by AlGaAs alloy barriers where the growth process creates a Ga-rich vertical quantum well at the center of the v-groove: this acts as a highly...
