摘要
We propose a novel quantum-well (QW) structure for GaInNAs-GaAs lasers that can emit 1.3 mu m or longer wavelength light, The idea is insertion of lattice-matched GaInNA's intermediate layers between wed and barrier, which is effective for elongating the emission wavelength and reducing web thickness. It is shown that 1.3-mu m emission is achievable by using the proposed GaInNAs-GaAs QW with a web thickness thinner than that of conventional rectangular GaInNA's QW's, This structure will relax the design limitation of strained GaInNA's layers.
