Abstract
Buried-heterostructure (BH) distributed feedback (DFB) lasers have been fabricated by a three-step low-pressure MOVPE process. The CW threshold currents were as low as 15mA and a high differential efficiency of 0.21 W/A was obtained. The laser operated in a stable single longitudinal mode over a wide range of driving currents and under highspeed direct modulation.
