Abstract

Type-II light sources on InP substrate are an innovative concept for wavelengths ranging from 2 Î1/4m to the mid-IR. The concept is using the type-II band alignment between GaInAs and GaAsSb to exceed the limitation of type-I devices. Since the first demonstration of InP type-II heterostructure lasers above 2.3 Î1/4m in 2012, we have extended the emission wavelength to 2.7 Î1/4m. Furthermore, a drastic reduction in threshold current density down to 104 A/cm2 per QW at infinite length was achieved (at 2.5 Î1/4m), which represents an improvement by more than a factor of two. Additionally CW operation up to 30°C and up to 80°C pulsed is presented. Furthermore, LEDs for 3.5Î1/4m peak emission wavelength and up to 86 Î1/4W output power are shown.
