  • Abstract
    The results of an examination of GaInAsP/InP laser material grown by liquid phase epitaxy using transmission cathodoluminescence, polarised infra-red microscopy and electrochemical etching techniques are reported. It is shown that dislocation clusters in the InP substrate give rise to non-radiative regions in the active layer.
