AlGAInAs/GaInAs multiple quantum wells (MQWs) are particularly suited
for planar device integration using local refractive index modificatio
n by masked implantation enhanced intermixing (MIEI). Suitable molecul
ar beam epitaxy (MBE) growth conditions are elaborated to achieve 1.3
mu m AlGaInAs/GaInAs MQW distributed feedback (DFB) lasers taking adva
ntage of the capability of the MIEI process to define the gratings. Hi
gh-quality MBE overgrowth on AlcaInAs necessary for device completion
after H radical treatment is demonstrated.
