1.3-μm AlGaInAs-AlGaInAs strained multiple-quantum-well lasers with a p-AlInAs electron stopper layer

1.3-/spl mu/m AlGaInAs-AlGaInAs strained multiple-quantum-well (MQW) lasers with a p-AlInAs electron stopper layer have been fabricated. The electron stopper layer was inserted between the MQW and p-side separate confinement heterostructure (SCH) layers to suppress the electron overflow from the MQW to p-SCH. The characteristic temperatures of the threshold currents and slope efficiencies were improved in the lasers with the stopper layers, especially at higher temperatures. As a result, a maximum operating temperature of 155/spl deg/C was achieved, which was 20/spl deg/C higher than that without the stopper layer.
