Abstract:
In this work the epitaxial growth of InAs quantum dots (QDs) in an InGaAsP matrix on an InP wafer is described. A new approach to shift the emission wavelength to the 1.5micrometer region using deposition of a thin GaAs capping layer on top of the QDs is suggested and exploited. Laser structures based on 5 layers of such dots as the gain material demonstrate lasing in continuous wave regime at 1.5 µm wavelength at room temperature.
