“…For 1300-nm emission wavelengths, diode lasers with active regions of highly strained InGaAsN quantum wells (QWs) [1], GaAsSb QWs [2,3], InAs quantum dots [4] and InGaAs-GaAsSb type-II QWs [5] have been demonstrated. However, in the 1550-nm regime, these methods encounter great difficulties in terms of wavelength limitation and device performance degradation [6,7]. To overcome this problem, a dilute-nitride type-II InGaAs-GaAsSb QW structure was proposed [8,9] for achieving 1550-nm on GaAs, as shown in the schematic band diagram in Fig.…”
