The internal quantum efficiency of laser diodes is determined from a consideration of current flow at threshold, and the corresponding quasi-Fermi level separation is used to evaluate the magnitude of all current components. The internal quantum efficiency is shown to be a strong function of temperature and cavity length. The results for single, multiple and strained quantum well structures are compared.
