Abstract

We have obtained GaInNAs/GaAs quantum wells with emission at 1.3 μm at room temperature. We also show that another novel material InNAsP grown on InP is a viable material for long-wavelength lasers. The maximum temperature of operation for an InNAsP/GaInAsP microdisk laser is 70 °C, which is about 120 °C higher than that of a similar laser fabricated from GaInAs/GaInAsP. The characteristic temperature To of the former is 97 K, also higher than that of the latter.
