  • Abstract
    Elemental source molecular beam epitaxy has been used to grow vertical cavity laser diodes on GaAs substrates that employ GaInNAs multiquantum well active regions and AlAs-GaAs distributed Bragg reflectors. The laser diodes emitted light at 1200 nm and had threshold current densities of 2.5 kA/cm2 and efficiencies of 0.066 W/A under room temperature pulsed operation.
