  • Abstract
    The cavity length dependence of the differential quantum efficiency ¿d of 1.58 ¿m wavelength GaInAsP/InP buried heterostructure lasers was investigated theoretically and experimentally. Theoretical calculations of ¿d taking intervalence band absorption into account is in agreement with the measured results, in which ¿d increases with decreasing the cavity length. The maximum value of ¿d obtained was 53% for the cavity length of 100 ¿m in pulsed operation at room temperature.
