Abstract
Recent results1,2 show that aluminum-free 0.808 pm InGaAsP/GaAs laser diodes are expected to have higher power and longer device lifetime than AlGaAs-based lasers. This work presents new results obtained for Al-free double heterostructure (DH) and separate confinement heterostructure (SCH) InGaP-InGaAsP-GaAs lasers grown by LP-MOCVD.2 Broad-area laser diodes with stripe width 100 μm and cavity length varying from 100 μm to 1400 μm were fabricated by standard photolithographic technique. Series resistance as low as 0.1 Ω has been obtained for laser diodes with cavity length of 1 mm, measured for bonded diodes in cw operation.
