Abstract
The authors present the first demonstration of the room-temperature continuous-wave operation of AlGaAs quantum well red (~700 nm) vertical-cavity surface emitting lasers fabricated by the selective oxidation process. The threshold current is ~3.2 mA with an output power of up to 44 μW. The laser structures, containing five Al 0.24Ga0.76As quantum wells, were grown on GaAs (311)A substrates by metal organic vapour phase epitaxy
