We report on the lasing characteristics of low-threshold long-wavelength GaInNAs double quantum well (DQW) lasers grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). We have achieved a threshold current density of 450 A/cm2 for a 1.28-µm-emitting laser. This is the lowest value for 1.3-µm-range GaInNAs lasers grown by MOCVD. We also observed high characteristic temperatures (T 0) of 210 K and 130 K for 1.25 µm and 1.28 µm lasers, respectively. In addition, we investigated the gradual change in lasing characteristics under pulsed operation. The blue shift of an emission wavelength and a threshold current reduction were observed, which is similar to that observed in the thermal annealing of GaInNAs.
