1540 nm wavelength GaInAsP/InP distributed-feedback lasers consisting of multiple-quantum-wire active regions with the wire width of 24 nm were realized by electron-beam lithography, CH4/H2 reactive ion etching, and two-step organometallic vapor-phase-epitaxial growth processes. A threshold current as low as 2.7 mA (threshold current density=270 A/cm2), a differential quantum efficiency of 19%/facet and a submode suppression ratio of 51 dB at a bias current of twice the threshold were achieved for the stripe width of 3.0 μm and the cavity length of 330 μm under a room-temperature continuous-wave condition.
