Abstract

We report on the growth of GaInNAs materials and lasers by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) using a rf-plasma source. Optimal GaInNAs quantum well (QW) structures have been designed and grown in order to achieve the brightest and narrowest photoluminescence (PL) spectra beyond 1.30 um. State-of-the-art GaInNAs/GaAs SQW lasers operating at 1.32 um have been demonstrated. For a broad area oxide stripe, uncoated Fabry-Perot laser with a cavity length of 1600 um, the threshold current density is 546 A/cm2 at room temperature. Optical output up to 40 mW per facet under continuous wave operation was achieved for these uncoated lasers at room temperature.
