Abstract :
An overview is given about the recent development of high performance quantum dot lasers for 980 nm high power and 1.3 μm telecommunication applications. New type of devices are also very suitable for ultra stable single mode emitting distributed feedback (DFB) lasers. We have used the DWELL-concept to implement stacked InAs/GaInAs quantum dot layers in the active region of lasers
