Abstract
TlInGaAs/TlInP/InP separate confinement heterostructures (SCHs) were grown by gas-source molecular-beam epitaxy and metal stripe laser diodes (LDs) were fabricated. Temperature variation of electroluminescence (EL) peak wavelength was as small as 0.01Â nm/K. Pulsed laser operation was achieved at 77-302Â K. Threshold current density for the TlInGaAs/TlInP/InP SCH LD (0.6Â kA/cm2 at 77Â K) was smaller than that for the TlInGaAs/InP double heterostructure LD (0.8Â kA/cm2 at 77Â K). This is due to the increased refractive index of TlInP and the improved optical confinement. Temperature variation of main peak wavelength in the lasing spectra was as small as 0.06Â nm/K. This is smaller than that of InGaAsP/InP DFB LDs.
