Short-haul fiber-optic communication systems require high-speed semiconductor lasers that can operate uncooled over a wide temperature range, In this letter, we describe high-speed short-cavity InGaAs-GaAs multiple-quantum-wed lasers operating at 1.1-mu m wavelength. The Fabry-Perot lasers were fabricated in a triple mesa geometry suitable for on-wafer probing. With 3x200 mu m(2) ridge-waveguide lasers, which showed the best compromise between high-temperature and high-speed performance, a 3 dB modulation bandwidth of 14.5 GHz at 130 degrees C was achieved, Uncooled 20-Gb/s operation of these lasers is presented over a wide-temperature range from 25 degrees C to 130 degrees C without automatic power control.
