We report on the metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) growth of InAsyPl1−y/InP strained layer quantum wells and the successful lasing of novel InAsyP1−y/InP strained layer quantum well laser diodes at 1.3 μm for the first time. Full width at half maximum of room temperature photoluminescence was as narrow as 30.1 meV with a peak wavelength of 1.29 μm. A very low threshold current density of 0.45 kA/cm2 was obtained on broad contact lasers with a cavity length of 900 μm.
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.
