摘要: Strained single- and triple-quantum-well (SQW TQW), large optical cavity GaInAsSb/AlGaAsSb/GaSb laser diodes emitting at 2.26 μm are investigated. Internal loss coefficients as low 5 7.7 cm−1 for the SQW TQW, respectively, relatively high internal quantum efficiencies of 65% (SQW) 69% (TQW) were obtained. Extrapolated threshold current densities infinite lengths 55 150 A/cm2 have been deduced respectively. These values scale very well with number QWs among lowest reported diode lasers in this wavelength range. A differential efficiency 50% a total power 23% achieved 280 K. The temperature dependence density revealed characteristic 110 Single-ended output powers 240 mW continuous-wave mode exceeding 0.5 W pulsed operation obtained TQW high-reflection/antireflection coated facets K, mounte...
