Description:
The first successful room-temperature pulsed operation is reported of InGaAs strained layer multiquantum well injection lasers grown by MOVPE on InP substrates in the 1.8 micron range. The threshold current density and the external differential quantum efficiency of the 10 micron wide ridge waveguide lasers were 2.5 kA/sq cm (cavity length = 1 mm) and 5 percent (cavity length = 400 microns), respectively. Broad-area lasers, 100 microns wide and 1 mm long, had a reverse leakage current of less than 10 microamps at -1 V indicating high quality of the epitaxial layers.
