Abstract
Buried-heterostructure lasers with microcleaved mirrors have been fabricated with lengths varying from 40 to 100 ¿m. These lasers have thresholds as low as 7 mA and differential quantum efficiencies as high as 60%. They also show essentially single-longitudinal-mode operation for currents 25% above threshold.
