Abstract
1.55 mu m GaInAsP-InP DFB laser wafers based on p-type substrates are grown in a two-step LPE process. The grating is effectively preserved from thermal deformation and back-dissolution by using an InP-Sn solution at only 464 degrees C for overgrowth. Data for the solubility and critical supersaturation for the Sn-In-P system are given.
