Room-temperature continuous-wave operation of InAsSb quantum-dot lasers near 2 μm based on (001) InP substrate

Abstract
Single-stack InAsSb self-assembledquantum-dot lasers based on (001) InP substrate have been grown by metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy. The narrow ridge waveguide lasers lased at wavelengths near 2 μm up to 25 ° C in continuous-wave operation. At room temperature, a differential quantum efficiency of 13% is obtained and the maximum output optical power reaches 3 mW per facet with a threshold current density of 730 A/cm 2 . With increasing temperature the emission wavelength is extremely temperature stable, and a very low wavelength temperature sensitivity of 0.05 nm /° C is measured, which is even lower than that caused by the refractive index change.
