Abstract

We report on the properties of GaNAsP/GaP lasers which offer a potential route to producing lasers monolithically on silicon. Lasing has been observed over a wide temperature range with pulsed threshold current density of 2.5 kA/cm2 at 80 K (λ=890 nm). Temperature dependence measurements show that the radiative component of the threshold is relatively temperature stable while the overall threshold current is temperature sensitive. A sublinear variation of spontaneous emission versus current coupled with a decrease in external quantum efficiency with increasing temperature and an increase in threshold current with hydrostatic pressure implies that a carrier leakage path is the dominant carrier recombination mechanism.
