  • Abstract
    Short-period (AlGaAs)m(GaAs)n superlattices have been applied to the active layer in a GRIN-SCH multi-quantum-well laser diode using molecular beam epitaxy. A short wave-length of 720 nm and high-temperature CW operation at over 100 degrees C were achieved with a low threshold current of 24 mA and high differential quantum efficiency of 75% at room temperature.
