摘要
The authors report a low CW. RT threshold current (I(th)) of 156 mu A from a 2.8 mu m diameter vertical-cavity laser (VCL) with three AlInGaAs quantum wells. Devices show no degradation after 30h of burn-in testing at a constant current density of 22kA/cm(2) and a junction temperature of 140 degrees C. In addition, devices were measured at various stage temperatures and it was found that the lowest I(th), 110 mu A for the 2.8 mu m diameter VCL, occurs near 230K, where the quantum well gain peak and the cavity mode are aligned.
