Notes:
Diode lasers emitting at 2.29 μm have been fabricated from lattice-matched double heterostructures having a GaInAsSb active layer and AlGaAsSb confining layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaSb substrates. For pulsed room-temperature operation these devices have exhibited threshold current densities as low as 1.7 kA/cm2 and differential quantum efficiencies as high as 18% per facet, the highest room-temperature efficiency reported for any semiconductor diode laser emitting beyond 2 μm.
