Abstract
Continuous progress observed in performance of semiconductor lasers is to a great extent owed to implementation of quantum well heterostructures. Quantum confinement of carriers in such structures leads to lower threshold current density, higher quantum efficiency and output power, and to many more improvements of laser parameters. Most of them can be further developed when strained layer quantum well heterostructures are used. Application of quantum wires and dots are promising further advantages in the future.
