Abstract
GaAs/GaAlAs injection lasers are presently used in a variety of applications including fiber optic communications, optical disk data storage, and laser printing as well as many others. Each of these applications may require a somewhat different type of laser. This paper reviews the operating parameters and physical limitations of many of the different types of GaAs/GaAlAs lasers.
