Abstract

We have used the 4 × 4 Luttinger–Kohn Hamiltonian to analyse the presence of delta‐strain in quantum well on the polarization properties of semiconductor optical amplifiers.
The analysis is performed for a 1.55 μm InGaAsP/InP lattice matched system grown in the [001] direction with and without the electrostatic effects of the carrier charges. The importance of electrostatic effects is indicated.
