Double quantum well, tensile strained AlGalnP/GaInP lasers have been grown by MOCVD which emit at 619-623 nm. The dependence of threshold current density J(th) on cavity length and temperature has been investigated and a pulsed J(th) of 2.15 kA cm2 obtained for a 750 mum long device operating at room temperature. Comparison of these lasers with unstrained devices shows evidence of a reduction in the intrinsic threshold current due to strain.
