Popis: Quantum well structures and separate confinement heterostructure lasers based on strained quaternary Ga 1− x In x As 1− y P y well material were grown by gas source molecular beam epitaxy. The substitution of As for P allows a simultaneous control of wavelength, well width and strain in the structure. Single strained layers in InP show photoluminescence with narrow linewidth (4 to 8 meV). Broad area lasers with strained and unstrained layers have been grown with five quantum wells and identical optical confinement. The strained quaternary structure has a threshold current density of 760 A/cm 2 for L = 400 μm, an internal quantum efficiency of nearly 100%, a waveguide loss of 10 cm -1 and a high T 0 value ( T 0 = 91 K). Single-well structures have a lowest value of 240 A/cm 2 for 3 mm long devices.
