Abstract

We report CW operation of a GaInAsP/InP multiple-reflector microcavity (MRMC) laser operated at fairly low threshold current density. The threshold current density with broad contact (stripe widthW=240 μm, cavity lengthL=60 μm) under pulsed operation was 180 A cm−2 (l th=20 mA), and was 230 A cm−2 under CW operation at room temperature operating at 1.52 μm wavelength.
