  • Abstract
    GaInAsP 1.5 mu m DFB lasers with a low threshold current (17 mA) have been grown by gas source molecular beam epitaxy (GSMBE) in a two-step epitaxial process. The lasers exhibit single-mode emission for emitted power in excess of 10 mW with side mode suppression ratio of 40 dB and spectral linewidth of 15 MHz. In addition the dispersion of the lasing wavelength has been found to be as low as 1.7 nm.
