  • Abstract
    The successful operation of a separate confinement heterostructure (SCH) AlGaInP/GaxIn1-xP (x=0.43) strained single quantum well (SSQW) laser has been achieved for the first time. A threshold current of 18 mA at 25 degrees C, the lowest value ever reported for AlGaInP/GaInP lasers, was obtained by a 10*200 mu m index guided laser diode at an emission wavelength of 691 nm.
