Aluminum-free InGaP/InGaAsP/GaAs separate confinement heterostructures have been grown and used for broad-area stripe diode laser fabrication. The lasers demonstrated a uniform near-field pattern and emission spectrum at lambda = 0.808 mum with a full width at half maximum less-than-or-equal-to 2 nm, meeting the necessary requirements for Nd:YAG pumping systems. A threshold current density of 470 A/CM2 and differential efficiency of 0.7 W/A with series resistance of 0.12 OMEGA for 137 mm-long diodes have been measured.
