Abstract
A 1.3-μm continuous wave lasing operation is demonstrated, for the first time, in a GaInNAs quantum-well laser at room temperature. This lasing performance is achieved by increasing the nitrogen content (up to 1%) in GaInNAs quantum layer. It is thus confirmed that this type of laser is suitable for use as a light source for optical fiber communications.
