Data are presented on low threshold, 1.3-mu m oxide-confined InGaAs-GaAs qu
antum dot lasers. A very low continuous-wave threshold current of 1.2 mA wi
th a threshold current density of 28 A/cm(2) is achieved with pup mounting
at room temperature, For slightly larger devices the continuous-wave thresh
old current density is as low as 19 A/cm(2).
