  • Abstract
    We report the first successful operation of a GaxIn1¿xAsy P1¿y/InP double heterostructure laser grown by low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapour deposition. This broad-area contact laser, emitting at 1.15 ¿m, has a threshold current density of 5.9 kA/cm2 at room temperature. The efficiency of photoluminescence and electroluminescence below laser threshold is comparable to that measured in structures grown by liquid-phase epitaxy.
