1.3 μm InAs quantum dot laser with To=161 K from 0 to 80 °C

Data are presented on the influence of p-type modulation doping on the gain characteristics of 1.3 μm InAs quantum dot lasers. The improvement in optical gain leads to very high characteristic temperatures for the lasing threshold that reach 161 K in the temperature range between 0 and 80 °C. 1.3 μm ground state lasing is obtained up to a temperature of 167 °C.
