Intraband relaxation time, which causes spectral broadening of optical gain and spontaneous emission spectra, is estimated theoretically for quantum-well lasers. Carrier-carrier and carrier-longitudinal-optical (LO) phonon scattering mechanisms are considered, and it is shown that hole-hole, electron-hole, and hole-LO phonon scattering are dominant in spectral broadening. Intraband relaxation time determined by all of these mechanisms increases slightly with the decrease of well width. The dependence of intraband relaxation time on temperature, carrier density, and energy of electron and hole is also shown. Spectral line shape is discussed as an extension of the above calculation, and an approximated formula is given. >
