Abstract: | The 810-nm InGaA1As/A1GaAs double quantum well (QW) semiconductor lasers with asymmetric waveguide structures, grown by molecular beam epitaxy, show high quantum efficiency and high-power conversion efficiency at continuous-wave (CW) power output. The threshold current density and slope efficiency of the device are 180 A/cm2 and 1.3 W/A, respectively. The internal loss and the internal quantum efficiency are 1.7 cm-1 and 93%, respectively. The 70% maximum power conversion efficiency is achieved with narrow far-field patterns. |
