InAs quantum dots in a InGaAs matrix grown on an InP substrate by mole
cular-beam epitaxy are employed as the active region of an injection l
aser. Lasing via quantum-dot states is observed in the temperature ran
ge 77-200 K. At the lowest threshold current density 11 A/cm(2) the ra
diation wavelength is equal to 1.894 mu m (77 K). (C) 1998 American In
