Abstract
Diode lasers based on InAsSb/InAsSbP with separate electrical and opti cal confinement, emitting in the wavelength interval 3-4 mu m, are inv estigated. The lasers attain a higher operating temperature when elect rical confinement is created by means of type-II heterojunctions. Inte rface Auger recombination is suppressed in lasers of this type, and th e experimental current density is close to the theoretically calculate d value for the case of predominant volume Auger recombination at a te mperature of 180-220 K.
