Abstract

Low-threshold double-heterostructure ridge-waveguide lasers have been fabricated in GaAs/AlGaAs layers grown on Si by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy. The pulsed threshold current of the best ridge-waveguide laser is 50 mA, with differential quantum efficiency of about 9% per facet. Broad-area lasers fabricated on the same wafer have pulsed threshold current densities as low as 300 A/cm2 .
