            Abstract : 
CW oscillation at a wavelength shorter than 630 nm, which depends on the Al content incorporated into a tensile-strained single-quantum-well active region of AlGaInP LDs, is investigated. A threshold current of 112 mA at 20 degrees C is attained in a quaternary (AlxGa1-x)InP (x=0.1) SQW LD emitting at 615 nm.
