Low Threshold Current Density 1.5 μm Strained-MQW Laser by n-Type Modulation-Doping

Article Preview

Abstract:

1.5µm n-type modulation-doping InGaAsP/InGaAsP strained multiple quantum wells grown by low pressure metalorganic chemistry vapor decomposition technology is reported for the first time in the world. N-type modulation-doped lasers exhibit much lower threshold current densities than conventional lasers with undoped barrier layers. The lowest threshold current density we obtained was 1052.5 A/cm2 for 1000 µm long lasers with seven quantum wells. The estimated threshold current density for an infinite cavity length was 94.72A/cm2/well, reduced by 23.3% compared with undoped barrier lasers. The n-type modulation doping effects on the lasing characteristics in 1.5µm devices have been demonstrated.
