Abstrakt: We performed an extensive numerical study of the linewidth enhancement factor (α-parameter) in single and multiple-quantum-well structures built from In0.38Ga0.62 As1-yNy/GaAs material systems. A ten-band kp Hamiltonian matrix was used in the calculations and solved self-consistently with Poisson’s equation. The linewidth enhancement factor was evaluated as a function of wavelength, nitrogen composition, well width, and carrier density and shows significant dependence on those parameters. The simulated results are in good agreement with published experimental data for a single quantum well. We demonstrate that engineering the desired linewidth enhancement factor is possible by varying the aforementioned parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
