We demonstrate ridge waveguide lasers based on AlInGaAs multiple quantum wells emitting at 1434 and 1541 nm on the same laser bar using quantum-well intermixing with dielectric capping layers. The internal quantum efficiencies are measured to be 61% and 72% and the internal losses are 49 and 23 cm-1 for lasers with intermixing promoted and inhibited, respectively. The characteristic temperatures are found to be approximately 50 K for lasers emitting around 1433 nm and 75 K for those emitting around 1541 nm.
