Abstract

We report the characteristics of the strained In0.65Ga0.35As triple quantum well (QW) diode lasers grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) on lattice-mismatched substrates such as GaAs or Si, by utilizing InP metamorphic buffer layers (MBLs) in conjunction with InAs nanostructure-based dislocation filters. As the lattice-mismatch between the substrate and InP MBL increases, higher threshold current densities and lower slope efficiencies were observed, together with higher temperature sensitivities for the threshold current and slope efficiency. Structural analysis performed by both high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HR-XRD) and transmission electron microscopy indicates graded and/or rougher QW interfaces within the active region grown on the mismatched substrate, which accounts for the observed devices characteristics.
