Abstract

An optoelectronic quantum well device comprises a stack of layers that have different gap widths and constitute quantum wells possessing, in the conduction band, at least two permitted energy levels, this stack of layers being included between two reflection means. The device also comprises a diffraction grating between one of the mirrors and the stack of layers.
