We report continuous-wave (CW) operation of an InAs/InGaAsP quantum-dot (QD) heterostructure laser diode (LD) with an output power of 1.1 W at room temperature. This is the first observation on the laser output over 1 W from InAs QD-LDs fabricated on InP substrates. Also, the high-power lasing emission was successfully achieved at up to 60 °C. The improvement in the lasing characteristics can be attributed to enhancement in modal gain of QD-LDs because of the increase in spatial carrier confinement around localized QD states by using a dot-in-a-well structure and a thin GaAs strain-modulating layer.
