Record low-threshold current density operation of a single-strained-quantum-well graded-index separate-confinement heterostructure GaInAs-AlGaAs laser has been obtained. The device was grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on a GaAs substrate and uses a proton implant stripe geometry to achieve a threshold current density of 1.3 kA/cm2.
