  • Abstract
    The amount of tensile strain introduced into QWs and the optimum QW structure are evaluated for low-threshold operation of AlGaInP LDs in the wavelength range 630-640 nm. Very low threshold current of 32 mA under CW operation at 20 degrees C is achieved in an index-guided SQW LD emitting at 632 nm.
