Hk. Choi et al., DOUBLE-HETEROSTRUCTURE DIODE-LASERS EMITTING AT 3-MU-M WITH A METASTABLE GAINASSB ACTIVE LAYER AND ALGAASSB CLADDING LAYERS, Applied physics letters, 64(19), 1994, pp. 2474-2476
Double-heterostructure diode lasers emitting at 3 mum have exhibited p
ulsed operation at temperatures up to 255 K and cw operation up to 170
K, with cw output power of 45 mW/facet at 100 K. The laser structure,
grown on GaSb substrates by molecular beam epitaxy, has a metastable
GaInAsSb active layer and AlGaAsSb cladding layers. The lowest pulsed
threshold current density is 9 A/cm2 obtained at 40 K. The characteris
tic temperature is 35 K at low temperatures and 28 K above 120 K.
