Design of advanced semiconductor laser structures demands the insightful use of compound materials consisting of many constituents. Smart alignment of heterostructure layers like type-II structures is an additional way of band gap engineering. Quantum optical modeling of electron and photon dynamics[1,2] connected with a realistic band structure explains optical properties and device performance and helps to map out the parameter space. We discuss gain, α-factors and luminescence for various systems.
