A. Ubukata et al., Improvement of characteristic temperature in In0.81Ga0.19As/InGaAsP multiple quantum well laser operating at 1.74 mu m for laser monitor, JPN J A P 1, 38(2B), 1999, pp. 1243-1245
InGaAs/InGaAsP compressively strained quantum well lasers operating at 1.74
mu m have been fabricated with thin carrier blocking layers sandwiching th
e active layer for carrier confinement. A laser characteristic temperature
(T-0) of 85 K was obtained, which is the highest value ever reported in InG
aAs/InGaAsP lasers in this wavelength range.
