摘要
This paper reports recent developments of our self-assembled InGaAs quantum-dot (QD) lasers and their unique physical properties, We achieved a Low-threshold current of 5.4 mA at room temperature with our originally designed columnar-shaped QD's, and also, room-temperature 1.3-mu m continuous-wave (CW) lasing with self-assembled dots grown at a decreased growth rate and covered by a strained InGaAs layer, We discuss influence of homogeneous broadening of single-dot optical gain on lasing spectra, influence of nonradiative carrier recombination on temperature characteristics of threshold currents, a model for the origin of the homogeneous broadening, a finding of random telegraph signals, and suppression of temperature sensitivity of interband emission energy by covering dots with a strained InGaAs layer.
