H. Shoji et al., LASING AT 3-DIMENSIONALLY QUANTUM-CONFINED SUBLEVEL OF SELF-ORGANIZEDIN0.5GA0.5AS QUANTUM DOTS BY CURRENT INJECTION, IEEE photonics technology letters, 7(12), 1995, pp. 1385-1387
A laser oscillation from self-organized In0.5Ga0.5As quantum dots is a
chieved at 80 K by current injection. Lasing at a three-dimensionally
quantum confined sublevel of the In0.5Ga0.5As quantum dots is clearly
demonstrated for the first time by electroluminescence and diamagnetic
energy shift measurement. The results predict the possibility of ultr
a low threshold current operation of quantum dot lasers.
