    We present the results of direct measurements of the effect of mechanically applied biaxial strain on Auger recombination rates in InGaAs quantum wells grown on InP. By mounting these structures on a flexible membrane, we applied strain mechanically rather than by changing the quantum well alloy fraction. Specifically, we employed time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy to probe the recombination dynamics in the degenerate carrier regime. From these measurements, we extract the non-degenerate cubic Auger coefficient C30. We found that applying 1.59% tensile biaxial strain increased the Auger C30 coefficient by 325% in one of our samples. These results support the hypothesis that the mechanical strain induced by heteroepitaxy plays a direct role in mitigating Auger recombination in InP-based telecommunication-range lasers.

    We characterized the impact of mechanically-applied biaxial strain on Auger recombination in InGaAs quantum wells using time-resolved photoluminescence. Our results support that Auger recombination is reduced by mechanical distortion introduced by strained-layer epitaxy.

    We have demonstrated an electronically controlled laser, generating 50 nJ picosecond pulses at 760 nm. The gain-switched pulses at 1032 nm are amplified in Yb-fiber and frequency converted in photonic crystal fiber using four-wave mixing.
