650 nm GaInP/AlGaInP laser diodes with low threshold and compressively strained MQW active layer

摘要

650 nm AlGaInP/GaInP laser diodes with compressively strained MQW active layer have been successfully fabricated by means of single epitaxy growth.The threshold current is 6.4 mA,at 40 mA CW operation,the fundamental transverse-mode still remains,and the output power and the slope efficiency can reach 34 mW and 1.1 mW/mA respectively. The dead output power in CW operation can reach 66 mW at a saturation current of 88 mA. During 200 h burn in test,the laser diodes show good stabilization with a degradation of less than 8 %.
