Abstract :
Room-temperature continuous-wave operation of distributed feedback GalnNAs quantum well laser diodes on GaAs in the 1.5 mum wavelength range is demonstrated for the first time. Singlemode emission with a sidemode suppression ratio of more than 45 dB is obtained at 1486 nm with a threshold current of 44 mA and an external efficiency of 0.06 W/A.
