Abstract :
Since the introduction of the GaAs based material system GaInAsN for long wavelength laser diodes several years ago, rapid progress has been made in improving the performance of these devices. We present some of our efforts and results in the optimized growth of GaInAsN/GaAs quantum well structures in the 1.3-1.55 μm wavelength region by solid source MBE using an RF plasma source for the generation of active nitrogen. Based on this preliminary work, we have fabricated GaInAsN LDs with emission wavelengths up to >1.5 μm. Laser performance data for 1.3 and 1.5 μm devices are presented and compared
