Abstract
We report organometallic vapor-phase epitaxy (OMVPE) growth and optical characteristics of 1.17-1.20 μm double-heterostructure laser diodes with three Ga 0.7 In 0.3 N 0.003 As 0.997 (7 nm)/GaAs(10 nm) quantum wells (GaInNAs/GaAs QWs). Three GaInNAs/GaAs QWs were successfully grown by OMVPE using dimethylhydrazine as the N precursor. Strong room-temperature photoluminescence at the 1.17-1.19 μm regime with a full width at half maximum of 33 meV has been routinely achieved. By using three GaInNAs/GaAs QWs as the gain medium of the GaInNAs laser, room temperature operation with a threshold current density of 1.2kA/cm 2 has been successfully demonstrated.
