K. Uomi et al., LOW-THRESHOLD, ROOM-TEMPERATURE PULSED OPERATION OF 1.5-MU-M VERTICAL-CAVITY SURFACE-EMITTING LASERS WITH AN OPTIMIZED MULTIQUANTUM-WELL ACTIVE LAYER, IEEE photonics technology letters, 6(3), 1994, pp. 317-319
Room temperature, pulsed operation of 1.5 mum vertical-cavity surface-
emitting laser is demonstrated by the optimization of an InGaAs/InGaAs
P multi-quantum well active layer, especially the number of quantum we
lls and the barrier thickness considering matched gain effect. Low thr
eshold currents of 17 mA in 5 x 7 mum2-devices and 25 mA in 7 x 10 mum
2-devices were achieved.
