Room temperature CW operation of GaInAsP/InP double-heterostructure diode lasers emitting at 1.23 μm grown by low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapour deposition

Abstract
We report the first successful room-temperature CW operation of GaInAsP/InP DH lasers emitting at 1.23 μm grown by LP MOCVD. Current thresholds as low as 250 mA have been obtained for CW operation.
