The preparation and operation of lattice-matched Al/sub 0.48/Ga/sub 0.52/As/Ga/sub 0.47/In/sub 0.52/As/Al/sub 0.48/In/sub 0.52/As double-heterostructure lasers lasing at 1.65 ..mu..m grown on InP substrates by molecular-beam epitaxy are described. The present result represents the first current injection semiconductor laser ever fabricated from the Al/sub 0.48/In/sub 0.52/As/Ga/sub 0.47/In/sub 0.53/As/Al/sub 0.48/In/sub 0.52/As double heterostructure. Broad-area Fabry-Perot laser (0.15-..mu..m-thick Ga/sub 0.47/In/sub 0.53/As active layer) with pulsed current threshold density as low as 3.3 kA/cm/sup 2/ has been obtained at room temperature and operated at heat-sink temperatures as high as 115 /sup 0/C studied. The threshold-current temperature dependence has a characteristic temperature T/sub 0/ of 70 /sup 0/C in the temperature range of 25/sup 0/--115 /sup 0/C.
