Abstract :
Summary form only given. In this paper, we report high performance native-oxide confined InGaP-AlGaInP quantum well (QW) visible laser diodes by wet oxidation of Al0.5In0.5P. These lasers show improved operation characteristics with lower threshold currents and higher quantum efficiencies as compared to conventional buried ridge visible lasers fabricated by etching and regrowth
