Abstract
The advantages and properties of InGaAsP laser diodes in the 1.0 to 1 .7 um spectral region are discussed. The structure, growth (both vapor and liquid phase epitaxy), and operating principles of these devices are briefly reviewed. State-of-the-art device results from 1.3 and 1 .55 um devices are then presented. The modal, thermal, and reliability properties of these devices, as well as their commercial availability, are also discussed, and possible directions for future applications are considered.Keywords
