Low threshold InGaAsP/InP lasers with planar buried heterostructure were grown entirely by low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The threshold current I/sub th/ = 10 mA and the differential quantum efficiency eta/sub d/ = 60%, which are comparable to lasers grown by liquid phase epitaxy, were obtained. Most lasers randomly selected from one wafer have threshold currents of I/sub th/ = 10--25 mA, because of high thickness uniformity of MOCVD growth. Stable fundamental transverse mode operation was also obtained up to an output power of 40 mW/facet, due to controlling the active layer width less than 2 ..mu..m.
