Abstract

Separate confinement single-quantum-well lasers with 100-120 A-thick strained Gal -.In,As/GaAs active layers have been grown on (100) GaAs substrates by metalorganic chemical vapour deposition. Ten-stripe proton-implanted arrays with 90pm-wide aperture and 250pm cavity length emit 200mW CW optical power at wavelengths 0.87 I i, 5 0.95pm. Lifetest data on an uncoated device emitting 90mW/facet at 50°C and I = 0.95pm suggest a mean-time-to-failure in excess of 2500 h at room temperature. The performance of lasers with strained Ga,-,In,As quantum wells is comparable to that of unstrained AI,Gal -,As/GaAs quantum-well lasers without facet coating.
