Abstract

Tensile-strained GaInAsP/InP quantum well (QW) lasers emitting at 1.3 micrometers are investigated. By introducing tensile-strained QW as an active region, low threshold current operation with good temperature characteristic are obtained. The lowest threshold current of 1.0 mA was achieved in a triple QW laser. Enhanced differential gain shows the feasibility of high speed operation. We also verified long-term reliability of approximately 10⁵ hours at 85 degree(s)C, 10 mW condition.
