Asactive region and Reflectance Anisotropy Spectroscopy (RAS) and Photoluminescence Measurements (PL) were applied to the evaluation of crystalline quality for InAlGaAs/AlGaAs interfaces. It is proved that the indium segregation effect can be effectively suppressed by lowering the growth temperature and using the interruption time between InAlGaAs quantumwell and AlGaAs barriers
and an abrupt interface and good crystalline quality for InAlGaAs/AlGaAs quantumwell can be obtained. Finally
an InAlGaAs/AlGaAs strained quantumwell laser was grown with optimized growth conditions. Experimental results indicate that the laser has a Full Width Half Maximum (FWHM) of 1.1 nm, the slope efficiency of 64 W/A and the wavelength shift with temperature of 0.256 nm/K. The theoretical calculation results are in good agreement with experimental results
which verifies that the laser meets the work requirements at a high temperature.
