Multiple quantum well InGaAsP/InP p-i-n laser heterostructures with different barrier thicknesses have been investigated using photoluminescence (PL) and photocurrent (PC) measurements. The observed PL spectrum and peak positions are in good agreement with those obtained from transfer matrix calculations. Comparing the measured quantum well PC with calculated carrier escape rates, the photocurrent changes are found to be governed by the temperature dependence of the electron escape time.
