Gain measurements are reported for radiation of wavelength 8466 Å propagating in a direction perpendicular to the junction of a GaAs injection laser operated at 80 °K. These results, used in conjunction with measurements of spontaneous emission, show that a gain of 2.3% is achieved at 7000 A/cm 2 . In thermal equilibrium 0.78% of the transmitted radiation is absorbed in traversing the active region, 135 A/cm 2 being required to off‐set this loss before net gain is obtained.
