Quantum well heterostructure lasers with low current density threshold and higher T sub 0 values

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7169156
The patent describes a quantum well heterostructure laser exhibiting low current density threshold and high T{sub 0} values. The laser comprising a plurality of contiguous semiconductor layers formed on a substrate, one or more the layers forming an active region capable of quantization of electron states, the active region confined by a pair of outer superlattice regions providing optical confinement and low thermal resistance while preventing the development of antiwaveguiding properties.properties.
