Abstract :
Strained-layer InGaAs quantum well lasers operating CW at 1.1 mu m have been life tested to over 18000 h, exhibiting a degradation rate of <.8% per kh. These uncoated lasers were life tested at 70 mW (per facet) in constant-power mode at a heatsink temperature of 30 degrees C. The laser structure, grown by metalorganic chemical vapour deposition, incorporates a step-graded quantum well heterostructure with a 30 AA In0.45Ga0.55As quantum well.
