Cao S. F. Yoon C. Y. Liu C. Y. Ngo Received 18 April 2007 Accepted 23 May 2007 Published online 14 June 2007 to the authors 2007 Abstract Ten-layer InAs quantum dot QD laser structures have been grown using molecular beam epitaxy MBE on GaAs 001 substrate. Using the pulsed anodic oxidation technique narrow 2 m ridge waveguide RWG InAs QD lasers have been fabricated. Under continuous wave operation the InAs QD laser 2 X 2 000 m2 delivered total output power of up to mW at 10 C at m. Under pulsed operation where the device heating is greatly minimized the InAs QD laser 2 X 2 000 m2 delivered extremely high output power both facets of up to W at 20 C at high external differential quantum efficiency of 96 . Far field pattern measurement of the 2- m RWG InAs QD lasers showed single lateral mode operation. Keywords Molecular beam epitaxy Single lateral mode InAs InGaAs quantum dot Pulsed anodic oxidation Laser diode Introduction High-performance GaAs-based quantum dot QD lasers are of great interest due to their potential applications in advanced optical fiber communication systems 1-9 .
