Abstract
The authors describe practical high-speed InGaAsP/InP lasers based on compressively strained quantum wells. Buried heterostructure lasers with threshold currents of 10 mA and slope efficiencies of 0.23 mW/mA are used. A modulation bandwidth of 20 GHz is obtained at a low drive current of 90 mA. A K factor of 0.25 ns is obtained and the intrinsic bandwidth of these lasers is estimated at 35 GHz.<>
