Abstract :
GaInAsP lateral current injection lasers have been fabricated on semi-insulating InP substrates. The lasers exhibit good lasing characteristics such as 10 mA threshold current, 10 mW maximum cw output power, and cw oscillation up to 70/spl deg/C. The laser has very low capacitance of 0.5 pF at zero bias voltage. This performance shows, for the first time, that the lateral current injection laser is a promising candidate for OEIC light sources.<>
