Abstract
Self-organized InAs quantum-dot (QD) lasers emitting at 1.5 /spl mu/m were grown by gas source molecular beam epitaxy on (100) InP substrates. Room temperature continuous-wave (CW) operation of QD-based buried ridge stripe lasers is reported. We investigated experimentally the relevant CW performances of as-cleaved InP-based QD lasers for telecom applications such as temperature properties (T/sub 0/=56 K), infinite length threshold current density (J/sub /spl infin///spl sim/150 A/cm/sup 2/ per QDs layer) and internal efficiency (0.37 W/A). Lasing in pulsed mode is observed for cavity length as short as 200 /spl mu/m with a threshold current of about 37 mA, demonstrating the high gain of the QD's active core. In addition, the Henry parameter of these InP-based QD lasers is experimentally determined using the Hakki-Paoli method (/spl alpha//sub H//spl sim/2.2).
