Abstract
We demonstrated, for the first time, long wavelength InGaAs/InGaAsP VCSELs with strain-compensated multiple quantum wells. Record low threshold pumping power and high To have been achieved. The exceedingly high optical gain and the capability of growing many wells relax the stringent requirement on mirror reflectivity making strain-compensated multiple quantum wells attractive for long wavelength VC-SELs
