Reliable 1550nm SI BH lasers fabricated using an improved Ru precursor

We have fabricated and assessed 1550 nm SIBH FP lasers using a novel Ruthenium precursor for MOVPE. Low temperature analysis revealed no unexpected defects and performance is similar to standard p-n-p-n current blocking devices. Accelerated aging at 85degC indicates no significant degradation after 5,700 hours on test.
