N-channel lnGaAs quantum well lasing thyristors (QWLT) based on regenerative loop ofpotential barrier lowering resulted from the forward biased pn junction is demonstrated in aAlGaAs/GaAs double heterostructure. Excellent electrical switching characteristics with ahigh voltage control efficiency ηv(=Vs/VH) of 6.7 have been obtained when the device isoperated in the dark. Typical OFF- and ON-state resistances are 150KΩ and 10Ω respectively.A lasing threshold current density, front slope efficiency, and external differentialquantum efficiency measured in as-cleaved device are 183A/cm2, 0.4mW/mA, and 31%,respectively. The peak emission wavelength is centered at about 980nm
