Reduction of size fluctuation effect in GaInAs/GaInAsP quantum-box lasers using tensile-strained active region

Abstract

The authors show theoretically the reduction of the quantum-box (QB) size fluctuation effect in GaInAs/GaInAsP QB lasers using a tensile-strained active region. The tensile-strained QB laser is shown to be highly advantageous for a 1.5 /spl mu/m low threshold laser.
