  • Abstract
    The first CW operation of a GaInAsP surface-emitting laser has been demonstrated at 77 K. The active region was made to form a 15 ¿m-diameter circular mesa shape and was buried with p¿n current-confining layers. The minimum CW threshold current was 19 mA at 77 K, and single-longitudinal-mode oscillation has been achieved.
