Abstract
Optically excited (Ga, In, As, P) film lasers at 1.3 and 1.5 ¿¿m have been investigated. The lasers showed single-mode emission and a tuning range of up to 160 nm. The laser threshold Pt and the differential quantum efficiency ¿¿D have been investigated in resonators with different reflectivities. Optimum results (Pt = 100 MW/cm2, ¿¿D = 2, 5%) have been achieved in an asymmetric resonator with R1 = 0.92, R2 = 0.75. An upper limit for the carrier density during excitation of n ¿¿ 1.1919 cm¿¿3 is estimated from near-field measurements.
