Low pump-power operation of GaP semiconductor Raman lasers with a tapered waveguide structure is reported. The waveguides are both laterally and vertically tapered and fabricated by the temperature difference method under controlled vapour pressure with liquid-phase epitaxy and an improved growth process, which has not caused any serious increase of internal optical loss. The lowest threshold pump power of 55 mW has been achieved
