Carrier capture in quantum well structures defines high-speed properties of the lasers and amplifiers based on them. We introduce general definition of the capture area in low-dimensional heterostructures based on intersubband coupling coefficient. Spatial dependencies of intersubband coupling coefficient, which governs in fact capture rate, suggest on insufficiency of classical definition of capture...
