Above the threshold bias (around 300 meV), the clamping of the gain to the cavity losses results a rapid increase in the internal electric field in the cavity. The photon-assisted transport results in a discontinuity in the slope of the current-voltage characteristics at the threshold bias/current: above threshold, the current increases much faster as stimulated emission reduces the upper laser level lifetime. |
