The lasing action of a Ga0.67In0.33As/GaInAsP/InP quantum-box (QB) las
er with single-layer tensile-strained (TS)-QB active region is demonst
rated for the first time. The fabricated QB is 30nm in diameter and 12
nm thick with a period of 70nm. The sample was fabricated by using two
-step MOVPE growth, electron-beam-exposure (EBX) direct writing, and w
et-chemical etching processes. The threshold current density was 7.6KA
/cm(2) at 77K with pulse current injection.
