Abstract
We report on the InAs quantum dots (QDs) laser in the 1.55μm wavelength region grown by gas source molecular-beam epitaxy. The active region of the laser structure consists of fivefold-stacked InAs QD layers embedded in the InGaAsP layer. Ridge waveguide lasers were processed and continuous-wave mode operation was achieved between 20 and 70°C, with characteristic temperature of 69K. High internal quantum efficiency (56%) and low infinite length threshold current density (128A∕cm2 per QD layer) was obtained for the as-cleaved devices at room temperature. The lasing wavelength range between 1.556 and 1.605μm can be covered by varying the laser cavity length.
