Abstract
Three types of GaAsP metamorphic buffer layers, including linearly graded, step graded, and metamorphic superlattices, were compared for the purposes of virtual substrates for red laser diode heterostructures. Laser diodes were fabricated on GaAs substrates and relaxed GaAsP metamorphic superlattice virtual substrates. A laser diode structure with a tensile-strained quantum well on a standard miscut GaAs substrate achieved TM-polarized emission at a 638 nm wavelength with 45% peak power conversion efficiency (PCE) at a 880 mW continuous wave (CW) output power with T0 = 77 K and T1 = 266 K. An analogous laser diode structure with a compressively strained quantum well on the metamorphic superlattice emitted TE-polarized 639 nm light with 35.5% peak PCE at 880 mW CW with T0 = 90 K and T1 = 300 K.
