Abstract :
A multiple quantum well tunnel diode (TD) and laser diode (LD) hybrid integration device (TD-LD) was fabricated. Additional current supply was applied to adjust the LD´s operating point. DC characteristics were investigated in both voltage source and current source drive circuits at room temperature. Different results from the two drive circuits are discussed.
