Abstract

An InGaAsP/AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure laser diode includes an InGaAsP quantum well and at least a cladding region of AlGaAs while essentially avoiding the deleterious effects attributed to the presence of Al in heterostructure laser diodes. Embodiments with Al present in the cladding region and with Al present in both the waveguide and the cladding regions are described.
