Which risk increases when a quantum dot laser wavelength is reduced by decreasing the dot size?

💡 Explanation

As dot size decreases, energy levels become less confined, increasing wave function overlap, thereby quantum tunneling dominates. The increased tunneling causes enhanced carrier leakage and nonradiative recombination rates because electrons tunnel to defects, thus reducing device efficiency rather than improving stimulated emission.
