  • Abstract
    Room-temperature CW laser operation at 7125 Å has been achieved in a (Ga1¿xAlxAs, x¿0.27) single quantum well double heterostructure (SQW-DH) diode laser. The laser consists of a 9 ¿m-wide delineated shallow proton stripe. The pulsed threshold current for a 250 ¿m long device is 115 mA whereas the CW threshold current is 140 mA. The CW external differential quantum efficiency is 60%.
