Da. Yarekha et al., High temperature GaInSbAs/GaAlSbAs quantum well singlemode continuous wavelasers emitting near 2.3 mu m, ELECTR LETT, 36(6), 2000, pp. 537-539
Narrow ridge 5 mu m-wide GaInSbAs/GaAlSbAs quantum well (QW) lasers emittin
g in the continuous wave (CW) regime at temperatures up to 130 degrees C ha
ve been fabricated. The CW threshold current varied between 20 and 35mA at
room temperature (RT) The lasers operated in the fundamental spatial mode a
nd exhibited single longitudinal mode emission over a wide range of CW oper
ation conditions. The emission wavelength increased from 2.26 mu m at RT up
to 2.43 mu m at 124 degrees C. The CW output optical power reached 45mW/fa
cet at 22 degrees C and exceeded 10mW/facet at 100 degrees C.
