Among the challenges for the next generation of semiconductor lasers is the enhancement of their modulation speed to satisfy the need for higher data transfer rates. For this purpose, tunnel injection lasers are an appealing concept, as they promise improved modulation rates and better temperature stability. Moreover, they eliminate a major detrimental effect of quantum dot lasers, which is the gain nonlinearity caused by hot carriers. It is shown in this work how the aforementioned improvements depend on the design of tunnel-injection devices. We perform a theory-experiment comparison on scattering times in tunnel injection devices to highlight the importance of alignment between the injector well and the quantum dot ensemble. It is shown how differences in the coupling to the injector quantum well caused by the alignment lead to scattering times into the quantum dot ensemble that vary by an order of magnitude.
