The authors report data on GaAsSb single quantum well lasers grown on GaAs substrates. Room temperature pulsed emission at 1.275 {micro}m in a 1,250 {micro}m-long device has been observed. Minimum threshold current densities of 535 A/cm{sup 2} were measured in 2000 {micro}m long lasers. The authors also measured internal losses of 2--5 cm{sup {minus}1}, internal quantum efficiencies of 30-38% and characteristic temperature T{sub 0} of 67--77 C. From these parameters a gain constant G{sub 0} of 1,660 cm{sup {minus}1} and a transparency current density J{sub tr} of 134 A/cm{sup 2} were calculated. The results indicate the potential for fabricating 1.3 {micro}m VCSELs from these materials.
