Sub-1100 nm lasing from post-growth intermixed InAs/GaAs quantum-dot lasers

Abstract

Impurity free vacancy disordering induced highly intermixed InAs/GaAs quantum-dot lasers are reported with high internal quantum efficiency (>89%). The lasers are shown to retain the device characteristics after intermixing and emitting in the important wavelength of ∼1070–1190 nm. The non-coated facet Fabry-Pērot post-growth wavelength tuned lasers exhibits high-power (>1.4W) and high-gain (∼50 cm −1), suitable for applications in frequency doubled green–yellow–orange laser realisation, gas sensing, metrology etc.
