摘要
We investigated experimentally the temperature dependence of the threshold current in 1.3-mu m AlGaInAs-InP strained multiple-quantum-well lasers, We find that radiative recombination constitutes almost 100% of the threshold current up to 220 K and remains more than 70% even at 300 K, This results in a high characteristic temperature T-0.
