摘要:

Some of the properties of InxGa1−xAs‐GaAs strained‐layer quantum‐well‐heterostructure (SL‐QWH) injection lasers are described. The laser structures are grown by molecular beam epitaxy onn+GaAs substrates. Following the growth of a 0.5‐&mgr;mn+GaAs buffer layer, a 2‐&mgr;m Al0.45Ga0.55Asn‐type cladding layer is grown. Next an undoped active region is grown, consisting of ∼1600 A˚ of GaAs with three ∼40‐A˚ In0.35Ga0.65As quantum wells separated by two ∼30‐A˚ GaAs barrier layers. Following the active region, a 2‐&mgr;m Al0.45Ga0.65Asp‐type cladding layer and a 0.5‐&mgr;mp+GaAs cap layer are grown. Broad‐area SL‐QWH lasers operate under pulsed conditions at room temperature with threshold current densities as low as 465 A/cm2. The operating wavelength is near 1 &mgr;m. Lasers have operated for up to 1000 h with less than 25% increase in current density to maintain a constant output of 2 mW/facet. Data are also presented describing the temperature dependence of threshold current density. Values ofT0between 80 and 103 K are observed near room temperature, indicating that these SL‐QWH lasers are somewhat more sensitive to temperature changes than conventional laser structures.
