Abstract: A superluminescent light emitting diode (SLED) includes an active layer that includes a set of mixed strain quantum wells. The set of mixed strain quantum wells includes a set of compressive strained quantum wells and a set of tensile strained quantum wells. A potential difference applied across the SLED causes movement of electron carriers and hole carriers towards the active layer. Radiative recombination of electron and hole pairs in the set of compressive strained quantum wells enables emission of laterally polarized light and radiative recombination of electron and hole pairs in the set of tensile strained quantum wells enables emission of vertically polarized light. A combination of the laterally polarized light and vertically polarized light results in the emission of incoherent light from the SLED.
