Using solid-source molecular-beam epitaxy with a rf-plasma source, we have grown GaInNAs/GaAs single-quantum-well lasers operating at 1.32 μm. For a broad-area oxide stripe, uncoated Fabry–Perot laser with a cavity length of 1600 μm, the threshold current density is 546 A/cm2 at room temperature. The internal quantum efficiency for these lasers is 80%, while the materials losses are 7.0 cm−1. A characteristic temperature of 104 K was measured in the temperature range from 20 to 80 °C. Optical output up to 40 mW per facet under continuous-wave operation was achieved for these uncoated lasers at room temperature.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
