Fig. 3. Optical spectra from a four-wave mixing experiment for (a) undoped QD laser with upconversion frequency detuning of −114 GHz (probe–drive mode number difference Δm=3); (b) p-doped QD laser with upconversion frequency detuning of −89 GHz (probe–drive mode number difference Δm=3) and QW laser with upconversion frequency detuning of −110 GHz (probe–drive mode number difference Δm=1). The different colored lines indicate signal power increases with increasing probe power.

Fig. 5. Signal–drive ratio ηsd as a function of probe–drive ratio ηpd for p-doped QD, undoped QD, and QW lasers. The lasers are biased at twice threshold current. The data points are from the experiment with probe–drive injection frequency detuning Δ and probe–drive mode number difference Δm as indicated. The dashed curves are calculated from multimode laser theory indicating the corresponding FWM coefficient.
