Abstract
The authors describe the fabrication and characterisation of a cladding layer contacted laser (CLCL) integrated into GaAs/AlGaAs-epitaxial layers with a pnp-doped structure. Threshold current densities of 0.86 kA/cm2 and a CW operation of more than 20 mW optical power are achieved with this structure, allowing the integration of a CLCL with a directional coupler
