Abstract

The slope efficiency and threshold current density of 1.3 μm AlGaInAs/InP lasers with AlInAs-AlGaInAs multiquantum barrier (MQB) are experimentally studied and compared with the conventional step-index separate confinement heterostructure (SCH) laser. With the MQBs at the guiding layers, the characteristic temperature can be improved as much as 10 K as compared with the conventional SCH laser. This is attributed to the suppression of electron and hole leakage currents.
