Studies on the relative advantages of quantum-dot and quantum-well gain media in lasers and amplifiers

The merit of quantum-dot versus quantum-well lasers is much debated. This paper describes an attempt at an answer by examining intrinsic behavior and underlying physics, using a microscopic theory with a rigorous treatment of scattering.
