O. Imafuji et al., LOW OPERATING CURRENT AND HIGH-TEMPERATURE OPERATION OF 650NM ALGAINPVISIBLE LASER-DIODES WITH REAL REFRACTIVE-INDEX GUIDED SELF-ALIGNED STRUCTURE, Electronics Letters, 33(14), 1997, pp. 1223-1225
High temperature operation at up to 90 degrees C has been achieved in
650nm-band AlGaInP visible laser diodes with a real refractive index g
uided self-aligned structure using an AlInP current blocking layer. Th
e operating current is as low as 45mA under CW operation at 60 degrees
C and the characteristic temperature is 120K from 20 to 60 degrees C.
