Which outcome results when a quantum well laser's active region is excessively narrowed?

💡 Explanation

Increased threshold current density occurs because quantum confinement strengthens, therefore enhancing the electron-hole overlap due to the Wave Function Squeezing Effect. This necessitates more carriers to reach population inversion, rather than lasing at lower current densities with fewer trapped carriers.
