Abstract

The high-performance InGaAsSb/GaAsSb/GaAs lasers emitting 1300 nm is simulated. Compared to the type-II quantum well GaAsSb/GaAs, In_0.48Ga_0.52As_0.98Sb_0.02/GaAs_0.98Sb_0.22 has large bandoffset which will offer a better electron confinement. And GaAs_0.98Sb_0.22 can reduce the effective strain of the highly lattice mismatched InGaAsSb quantum well. The transparent carrier densities of active unit is as low as 0.72×10¹⁸ cm^-3. The threshold current and slope efficiency of the InGaAsSb/GaAsSb/GaAs three quantum wells laser is equal to 83 mA and 0.62W/A. When the current is over 93 mA, external efficiency will reach 0.72. In order to further enhance the performance of InGaAsSb/GaAsSb quantum well (QW) laser, the asymmetric (0.5 μm/1.5 μm) waveguide structure is also studied.
