Abstract :
Summary form only given. We report low threshold (4.5 A), high efficiency (1.0 W/A) and high output power (15 W) cw operation in the 630 nm band from an AlGaInP-GaInP monolithically integrated laser diode array. The epitaxial design consists of a standard GaInP strained quantum well active region and AlGaInP waveguide and cladding layers.
