Title: GaInAsP/InP stripe-geometry laser with a reactive-ion-etched facet

Abstract

We report the first use of reactive-ion etching (RIE) to form mirror facets on GaInAsP/Inp double-heterostructure (DH) lasers (lambdaapprox.1.3 ..mu..m). The RIE, performed with a Cl/sub 2/:O/sub 2/ gas mixture, provides vertical etched walls with no undercutting. Initial laser results demonstrate that quasi-single-mode operation and reasonable threshold currents are possible.
