Abstract:
A multi-active-region bipolar-cascade edge-emitting laser emitting at nearly 900 nm is presented. The three active regions and two tunnel junctions located in a single waveguide core share the same third-order vertical mode. A slope efficiency of 3.6 W/A was measured with a threshold current density of 230 A/cm2. The epitaxial layer stack developed features with very low internal optical losses of 0.7 cm-1. The voltage extrapolated to vanishing current is only 0.3 V larger than 3 times the voltage of 1.4 V originating from the photon energy.
