摘要: The current threshold densities (Jth) of broad‐area double‐heterostructure (DH) lasers, the photoluminescence (PL) intensities p‐GaAs cap layers, P‐AlxGa1−xAs (x∼0.3) confinement and GaAs active layers DH wafers are investigated as a function substrate temperature (450–650 °C) during MBE growth. PL increase Jth’s lasers decrease with increasing temperature. improvement Jth is found to be well correlated optical qualities AlxGa1−xAs However, relatively independent
