This paper has a detailed study directed towards designing of In0.29Ga0.71As0.99N0.01/GaAs straddled nanoscale-heterostructure having a single QW of thickness ∼60 Å and optimization of optical and lasing characteristics such as optical and mode gain, differential gain, gain compression, anti-guiding factor, transparency wavelength, relaxation oscillation frequency (ROF), optical power and their mutual variation behavior. The outcomes of the simulation study imply that for the carrier concentration of ∼2 × 1018cm−3 the optical gain of the nano-heterostructure is of 2100 cm−1 at the wavelength is of 1.30 μm. Though the obtained gain is almost half of the gain of InGaAlAs/InP heterostructure, but from the wavelength point of view the InGaAsN/GaAs nano-heterostructure is also more desirable because the 1.30 μm wavelength is attractive due to negligible dispersion in the silica based optical fiber. Hence, the InGaAsN/GaAs nano-heterostructure can be very valuable in optical fiber based communication systems.}, type={Article}, title={Optimization of optical characteristics of In0.29Ga0.71As0.99N0.01/GaAs straddled nano-heterostructure}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/115317/PDF/main.pdf}, keywords={InGaAsN, Optical gain, Gain compression, Heterostructure}, }
