For a given P, nWL (0) can be estimated by nWL (0) = (αP TL / Eex) (Acavity / Alaser) (1/ nQD), where α=0.05 is the absorption of GaAs, TL is the period of laser, Acavity (0.25 μ m2) and Alaser (19.6 μ m2) are the areas of the cavity and the laser, respectively, Eex is the excitation energy of the laser, and nQD =3 is the number of QDs in the cavity.
