Visible (682nm) InAlGaAs oxide stripe lasers have been fabricated on a
tmospheric pressure MOVPE grown material. Lowering the oxygen residue
of the metal organic reagents allows uniform deposition of high optica
l quality InAlGaAs QWs at similar to 600 degrees C. A separate confine
ment heterostructure laser using a single QW lased at room temperature
with J(infinity) of 1.23kAcm(-2).
