S. Honda et al., Low threshold 650 nm band real refractive index-guided AlGaInP laser diodes with strain-compensated MQW active layer, ELECTR LETT, 36(15), 2000, pp. 1284-1286
650nm band real refractive index-guided AIGaInP laser diodes with a strain-
compensated MQW active layer have been successfully fabricated. A threshold
current of 9mA, which is the lowest ever reported. was achieved and 5mW op
eration was obtained up to 120 degrees C. These lasers have been operated f
or > 3000h under 5mW at 90 degrees C.
