The use of InAs quantum dots in an InGaAs matrix lattice-matched with
an InP substrate can appreciably increase the emission wavelength of q
uantum-dot lasers. Lasing via quantum-dot states at the 1.84 mu m wave
length (77 K) was obtained for the first time at a threshold current d
ensity of 64 A/cm(2). (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics. [S1063-7
