Modulation response of nanoLEDs and nanolasers exploiting Purcell enhanced spontaneous emission
The modulation bandwidth of quantum well nanoLED and nanolaser devices is calculated from the laser rate equations using a detailed model for the Purcell enhanced spontaneous emission. It is found that the Purcell enhancement saturates when the cavity quality-factor is increased, which limits the maximum achievable spontaneous recombination rate.
The modulation bandwidth is thereby limited to a few tens of GHz for realistic devices.
