摘要: Abstract High-performance (high optical output power, high efficiency), GaAs-based Quantum Dots (QD) 1.3 μ m edge emitting laser (EEL) results are presented. The active region is based on multiple stacks of InAs/GaInAs/GaAs QD. whole structure has been grown in a multiwafer production MBE system (using 5 × 3 ″ substrate holders). Threshold current density 190 A / cm 2 and differential quantum efficiency 70% were obtained at room temperature. These excellent values addition to good I–V characteristics (1.1 V turn voltage series resistance as low 10 - 4 Ω ) led record continuous wave (CW) power 4.2 W for broad area devices ( 100 wide, 1600 long).
