Injection lasers based on InGaP/InGaAsP quantum-well, structures, emit
ting at 1.02 mu m, were made. A weak temperature dependence of the thr
eshold current (with the characteristic temperature T-0 = 180 K) of th
ese lasers made it possible to dispense with the cooling units and out
put power control systems during operation. This increased the reliabi
lity and reduced the cost of the lasers.
