Superluminescent diodes based on AlGaInAs/InP separate-confinement double heterostructures with strain-compensated quantum wells are investigated. The influence of elastic strains in the active region on the output characteristics of the devices is analysed. It is shown that such a design of a superluminescent diode allows an optical power of more than 5 mW, a radiation spectrum width of more than 60 nm, a degree of output radiation polarisation up to 30 dB to be obtained at the output of a single-mode fibre, and has a great potential for further improvement.
