Narrow-beam five-layer (GaAl)As/GaAs heterostructure lasers with low threshold and high peak power

A variety of (GaAl)As/GaAs heterostructure injection lasers have been fabricated with two pairs of heterojunctions, the inner pair for carrier confinement and the outer pair for optical confinement. Asymmetrical versions of this design have given, at one extreme, threshold current density Jt at 300...

Zusammenfassung:A variety of (GaAl)As/GaAs heterostructure injection lasers have been fabricated with two pairs of heterojunctions, the inner pair for carrier confinement and the outer pair for optical confinement. Asymmetrical versions of this design have given, at one extreme, threshold current density Jt at 300 K as low as 500 A/cm2 and at the other extreme far-field angular beam widths to the half-power point of 15° with Jt
