Abstract
The effects of novel doping profiles on the operating characteristics of SQW AlGaAs/GaAs separate confinement heterostructure (SCH) lasers have been studied. It has been experimentally determined that the transparency current density and threshold current density are significantly reduced by n-type modulation doping the quantum well in the active region of the laser. Reductions of 45% in transparency current density and 30% in threshold current density have been achieved in n-modulation-doped QW lasers compared to corresponding conventional structures.
