Abstract: We demonstrate significantly enhanced performance of 2.1 mu m InGaAsSb quantum well lasers using Sb as a surfactant. The lasers are grown on an InP substrate by metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy. Following the introduction of Sb, a double-channel waveguide laser, with uncoated facets, shows a remarkably increased continuous-wave output power of 330 mW, compared with 160 mW for a Sb-free InGaAs quantum well laser, measured at 10 degrees C. Moreover, the introduction of Sb improves the temperature performance of the device and doubles its wall-plug efficiency. In addition, the active region material and interface quality are investigated by transmission electron microscopy, which help to elucidate the basic physical mechanism of the Sb surfactant effect.
