Cw. Coldren et al., 1200nm GaAs-based vertical cavity lasers employing GaInNAs multiquantum well active regions, ELECTR LETT, 36(11), 2000, pp. 951-952
Elemental source molecular beam epitaxy has been used to grow vertical cavi
ty laser diodes on GaAs substrates that employ GaInNAs multiquantum well ac
tive regions and AlAs/GaAs distributed Bragg reflectors. The laser diodes e
mitted light at 1200nm and had threshold current densities of 2.5kA/cm(2) a
nd efficiencies of 0.066W/A under room temperature pulsed operation.
