  • Abstract
    The operation of electrically-pumped type-II Sb-based laser diodes in which only the holes are quantum confined is reported. These laser structures were fabricated by molecular beam epitaxy on (001) GaSb substrates. In the multi-quantum well region, radiative recombinations originate from InGaSb hole wells embedded in InGaAsSb barriers lattice-matched to GaSb. Laser operation was demonstrated from such structures up to 243 K at 2.93 mum in the pulsed regime (200 ns, 5 kHz). A minimum threshold of about 12.8 kW/cm2 combined with a T0 around 70 K have been measured
