  • Abstract
    The main purpose of this study is to realize a highly reliable InP/InGaAsP lasers even at elevated temperatures. We present and demonstrate a new BC structure (displaced BC, D-BC) with optimized device parameters such as the dimensions of the active region and the doping levels of the constituent layers. A stable long life operation for more than 4,000 hours in automatic power control (APC) mode operation at a temperature of 80° C is obtained in these new lasers. The life time of the lasers are estimated to be 8 \\times 10^{4} hours( ≃ 9 years).
