Abstract
We summarize the growth and characterization of (AlGa)0.5 In0.5P quantum well (QW) lasers, including the important issues of p-doping, optimized layer structures for high-performance lasers, and the performance limits of these devices. These lasers are prepared by low pressure OMVPE, and contain Al0.5 In0.5P cladding layers, (Al0.6Ga0.4 )0.5In0.5P confining layers, and an (AlGa) xIn1-xP QW active region. Using a single QW structure, good performance has been obtained at wavelengths as short as 620 nm. In addition, high power outputs have been achieved for single-mode and broad-area lasers, at the important wavelengths of 633 nm and 660-690 nm
