摘要:
Strained-layer InGaAs quantum well lasers operating CW at 1.1-mu-m have been life tested to over 18000 h, exhibiting a degradation rate of < 1.8% per kh. These uncoated lasers were life tested at 70 mW (per facet) in constant-power mode at a heatsink temperature of 30-degrees-C. The laser structure, grown by metalorganic chemical vapour deposition, incorporates a step-graded quantum well heterostructure with a 30 angstrom In0.45Ga0.55As quantum well.
