Stripe-geometry strained InGaAs-GaAs quantum well lasers were fabricated by impurity induced disordering. Threshold currents as low as 2.2mA at room temperature continuous operation (RT CW) were obtained for uncoated lasers having 1.2-mu-m wide, 215-mu-m long active stripes. The authors believe that this ultralow threshold is mainly due to the very small active stripe width and the excellent electrical confinement of the laser.
