Abstract
The first successful growth and fabrication of long wavelength (1.5-1.7 mu m) DH and MQW lasers by atmospheric pressure MOVPE in a ´phosphorus-free´ material system is reported. The GaInAs/AlGaInAs DH and MQW lasers were grown on InP substrates. DH lasers emitting at around 1690 nm exhibit threshold current densities down to 2.8 kA/cm2 at 25 degrees C; the characteristic temperature is 50 K in the 15-55 degrees C range. First MQW lasers with 1565 nm emission wavelength have threshold current densities around 3.2 kA/cm2.
