Abstract

An InGaAsP/InP laser diode emitting at 1.3 μm with a crescent shaped active region is described. The active region is completely embedded in InP by a two-step LPE technique, and a double current confinement scheme is incorporated with two reverse biased p-n junctions at both sides of the active layer. A threshold current as low as 20 mA has been achieved in CW operation at room temperature. Fundamental transverse mode operation with linear light output-current characteristics and single longitudinal mode oscillation have been obtained.
