Abstract

An experimental method for determining the transparency current density of semiconductor quantum well lasers is demonstrated in a strained-layer InGaAs/GaAs single quantum well laser system. The experimental results are then used as a practical guide to the study of ultralow threshold lasers. A threshold current as low as 0.75 mA is observed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
