摘要
The temperature dependence of lasing wavelength in 1.2-mu m or 1.3-mu m-range GaInNAs edge-emitting laser diodes (LD) was found to be small. It is almost independent of characteristic temperature (T-o) and is equivalent to the temperature shift of bandgap wavelength of GaInNAs (0.42 nm/degrees C), Since the dependence is smaller than that of 1.3-mu m-range conventional InGaAsP LD's and also smaller than the required value (<0.48 nm/degrees C), it is concluded that the GaInNAs LD's are promising for use as 1.3-mu m-range light sources because of their lasing-wavelength stability against temperature shift and a high T-o. The small dependence is due to the small effect of band filling on lasing wavelength from the deep quantum well in GaInNAs LD's.
