Abstract :
GaInAsN quantum wells have been grown by MBE on GaAs for 1.3 μm lasers. With room temperature PL the QWs are characterized and a record low FWHM of 29 meV at a wavelength of 1.34 μm was achieved. These QWs are used in laser structures resulting in a threshold current density of 780 A/cm2 for a DQW broad area device at 1.28 μm with a dimension of 1000×100 μm2. SQW laser structures were processed to DFB lasers emitting around 1.3 μm. Longitudinal single mode emission is achieved due to coupling of the laser mode to a chromium grating which is placed along the ridge waveguide
