A truly monopolar GaAs Fabry-Perot cavity Gunn laser is demonstrated. The device is grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate and consists of an n=4.6x10(17) cm(-3) doped GaAs active layer sandwiched between the AlxGa1-xAs (x=0.32) waveguiding layers. The operation of the device is based on the band to band recombination of impact-ionized nonequilibrium electron-hole pairs in the propagating high field domains in the Gunn diode, which is placed in a Fabry-Perot cavity, and biased above the threshold of negative differential resistance. Lasing from the device is observed at temperature T >= 95 K. The maximum power emitted from the device is P=25.4 mu W at lambda=840 nm and T=95 K. (c) 2005 American Institute of Physics.
