TLDR
In this paper, the 1.5/spl mu/m wavelength region has been realized for fabricated ridge waveguide laser diodes (LDs) under pulsed condition up to record high temperatures of 80/spl deg/C resulting in an emission wavelength of 1540 nm.
Abstract
GaInAsN-GaAs double quantum-well (DQW) laser structures emitting in the 1.5-/spl mu/m range were grown by solid source molecular beam epitaxy using a radio frequency plasma source for nitrogen activation. Lasing operation in the 1.5-/spl mu/m wavelength region has been realized for fabricated ridge waveguide laser diodes (LDs) under pulsed condition up to record high temperatures of 80/spl deg/C resulting in an emission wavelength of 1540 nm. This is the highest emission wavelength for laser diode operation based on GaAs. In addition, to investigate the optical properties of the active region, photoluminescence studies of underlying GaInAsN-GaAs QW structures emitting at wavelengths up to 1.55 /spl mu/m are presented.

Comparison of electronic band structure and optical transparency conditions of In x Ga 1 − x As 1 − y N y ∕ Ga As quantum wells calculated by 10-band, 8-band, and 6-band k ∙ p models

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the electronic band structure and optical transparency conditions of a 10-band, 8-band and 6-band quantum well with different models and concluded that the reduction was due to the increased interaction between the conduction-band state and the nitrogen-related energy state, which weaken the optical transition matrix elements between valence band and conduction band.
