F. Bugge et al., EFFECT OF GROWTH TEMPERATURE ON PERFORMANCE OF ALGAAS INGAAS/GAAS QW LASER-DIODES/, Journal of electronic materials, 25(2), 1996, pp. 309-312
Growth and characterization results are presented for high-power laser
diodes with AlGaAs cladding and waveguide layers and strained In1-xGa
xAs quantum wells with 0.09 < x < 0.25 grown by metalorganic vapor pha
se epitaxy at different temperatures. Photoluminescence at 300 and 10K
, Auger spectroscopy, and high-resolution x-ray measurements are discu
ssed. Broad area laser diodes have been fabricated with different cavi
ty length and threshold current densities, absorption coefficients, in
ternal efficiencies, and degradation rates have been measured.
