This chapter shows how to calculate the absorption coefficient, optical gain, and radiative recombination rates in quantum wells and superlattices. A detailed treatment of both interband and intersubband transitions is presented, and their differences and similarities are considered in detail. The optical properties of wurtzite quantum wells and zinc-blende quantum wires and dots are also discussed. Finally, the interaction of excitonic transitions with incident light in quantum wells is considered as a model for other two-dimensional materials.

AbstractWe have evaluated the optical gain of GaN/AlGaN quantum well structures with localized states, taking into account the Coulomb interaction. The localized states axe introduced in the well as quantum dot-like subband states. We have used the temperature Green's function formalism to treat the many-body effects and have found a new excitonic enhancement of the optical gain involved the localized states. This enhancement is stronger than the conventional Coulomb enhancement. It might play an important role to reduce the threshold carrier density.

AbstractWe have designed a parallel interminiband lasing in superlattice structures of coherently strained Si0.5Ge0.5/Si quantum wells (QWs). Population inversion is achieved between the non-parabolic heavy-hole valence minibands locally in-k-space. Lasing transition is at 5.4μm. Our analysis indicates that an optical gain of 134/cm can be obtained when the laser structure is pumped with a current density of 5kA/cm2.
