Abstract
We describe the interaction between carriers in three‐dimensional barrier and confinement regions and two‐dimensional quantum well regions of a 1.5 μm multiple quantum well optical amplifier. We present a model and measurements of the spontaneous emission and gain spectra dependence on an external optical pump signal.Keywords
