Abstract
A self-organization phenomenon of a strained InGaAs/AlGaAs system on a GaAs(311)B substrate during metalorganic vapour-phase epitaxial growt h is briefly described, and nanoscale confinement lasers with self-org anized InGaAs quantum disks as active region are mentioned. Continuous -wave operation of strained InGaAs quantum disk lasers is achieved at room temperature. The threshold current is around 20 mA: which is cons iderably lower than that of a reference double-quantum-well laser on a GaAs(100) substrate grown side by side. However, the light output vs. the driving current exhibits a pronounced tendency towards saturation compared with that of the (100) quantum well laser.
