Abstract :
1 W continuous wave (CW) reliable operation (~1000 h) in large transverse spot-size (d/T=0.55 μm), compressively strained, InGaAsP (λ=0.73 μm)-active region diode lasers is demonstrated. The use of tensile-strained InGaP barrier layers provides strain-compensation and results in a weak temperature sensitivity for the threshold current (T0=125 K) and external differential quantum efficiency (T1=410 K)
