Abstract

AbstractWe report on room temperature cw operation of type-I semiconductor quantum well (QW) laser diodes based on the GaInAsSb/AIGaAsSb/GaSb material system emitting beyond 2.2 µm. Lasing is observed in cw mode up to at least 320 K. A high internal quantum efficiency of 65% and a low internal loss coefficient of 5 cm1have been achieved for a single QW (SQW)large optical cavity laser at 280 K. An extrapolated threshold current density for infinite cavity length of 144 A/cm2and 55 A/cm2has been deduced for the 3 QW and SQW lasers, respectively, which scales with the number of QWs. A maximum cw light output power of 230 mW at 280 K heatsink temperature was obtained for a 3 QW large optical cavity laser with HR/AR coated mirror facets, mounted substrate-side down.
