Abstract
Low threshold current is important for many applications of semiconductor lasers such as optical computing, optical interconnection, and optical communication. We have reported a laser fabricated by impurity-induced disordering (IID) with threshold current 2.2 mA under room-temperature cw operation,1 here we report on an optimized 2-D laser with threshold current as low as 1.0 mA under room-temperature cw operation.
