Abstract
Strained-layer In/sub x/Ga/sub 1-x/As-GaAs-Al/sub y/Ga/sub 1-y/As buried-heterostructure (BH) quantum-well lasers have been fabricated using three-step selective area atmospheric pressure metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. Selective-area epitaxy is used to produce BH lasers involving only GaAs on GaAs regrowth, eliminating the detrimental effects associated with exposed Al/sub y/Ga/sub 1-y/As found in other fabrication methods. Additionally, selective-area epitaxy provides inplane bandgap energy control to fabricate BH devices with different wavelengths on the same wafer. Threshold currents as low as 11 mA are obtained for a 540-/spl mu/m-long, 4-/spl mu/m-wide device with uncoated cleaved facets. The devices operate at room temperature to more than 200 mW/uncoated facet with 40% external differential quantum efficiency. In-plane bandgap energy control results in a wide range of possible laser emission wavelengths for BH lasers grown on the same substrate.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
