  • Abstract
    Laser diodes emitting at 2.36 μm at room temperature have been fabricated from a type-II quantum-well heterostructure with an active region consisting of five Ga0.65In0.35As0.15 Sb0.85 wells and GaSb barriers. A pulsed threshold current density of 305 Å/cm2 has been obtained for an 820 μm-long-device at 23°C. The characteristic temperature T0 was found to be 55 K between -30 and 50°C. The differential quantum efficiency being 35% for 600 μm long lasers
