  • Abstract
    Measurements of threshold current density and external efficiency on broad-area laser-waveguide structure have led to the determination of the optical loss and differential loss d alpha /dN approximately=1.1-2.3 *10-17 cm2 at lambda =1.53 mu m in a lambda g=1.30 mu m GaInAsP layer. This measurement will be useful for the design of tunable lasers.
