Abstract

GaAs/AlGaAs GRIN-SCH type multiple quantum well lasers with 4 wells of 11 nm GaAs, grown in an MOVPE chimney reactor, exhibit an output power as high as 110 mW/facet (CW, 30°C; 5 μm stripe) and 1.3 W/facet (pulsed, 30°C; 53 μm stripe) until catastrophic optical damage occurs. 2000 hours life tests conducted at 60°C and 15 mW CW show no noticeable degradation for the 5 μm stripe laser with a reflective coating on both facets. Raman spectroscopy on similar multiple quantum well structures with 65 GaAs wells is used to ascertain that the wells have minimum residual aluminum-content.
