  • Abstract
    A very low CW threshold current of 1.65 mA at room temperature was obtained for an uncoated buried-heterostructure strained layer multiquantum well InGaAs-GaAs laser fabricated using hybrid molecular beam epitaxy and liquid phase epitaxy crystal growth technique. External differential quantum efficiency as high as 44.6% (0.53 mW/mA) and output power of more than 30 mW per facet were achieved in the same laser.
