| In the present paper we demonstrate that wide-range wavelength tuning of semiconductor lasers can be achieved by applying high pressure and low temperature. We report the experimentally measured dependence of the threshold current and emission energy on pressure and temperature in InGaAs/GaAs quantum-well lasers and provide the simple theoretical explanation of the physics behind the experimental findings. |
