  • Abstract
    An InGaAsP (λg=1.3 μm) buffer layer, inserted between an InGaAs contact layer and an InP cladding layer, efficiently reduces the differential resistance of laser diodes at a threshold current of 10 mA. Laser diodes using this multilayer contact structure show long-term stable operation of more than 104 h at 50°C
