  • Abstract
    Diode lasers with an In0.948Al0.052Sb gain region have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy onto nominally matched InGaSb substrates, and onto mismatched InSb substrates. The former had a stimulated emission wavelength of 3.9 μm at 77 K, with the threshold current density being 140 A cm-2 and maximum operating temperature 165 K. The latter had a stimulated emission wavelength of 3.6 μm at 77 K, with the threshold current density being 417 A cm-2 and maximum operating temperature 160 K
