Abstract

The authors demonstrate edge-emitting lasers based on self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) on GaAs substrates. The InAs QDs are embedded in an InGaAs quantum well (QW) to red-shift the lasing transition. The lasers emit at l~1.2 micro m with threshold current densities ~ 100 A/cm2. Maximum modal gains on the order of 5 cm-1 are deduced for a single QD sheet.
