The first 1.55\u2005\ub5m room-temperature continuous-wave (CW) operation of GaAs-based laser diodes utilising GaInNAsSb/GaNAs double quantum well active regions grown by molecular beam epitaxy is reported. In electrically-pumped CW operation the narrow ridge waveguide devices have a room temperature lasing wavelength of 1550\u2005nm near threshold, increasing to 1553\u2005nm at thermal rollover. The CW threshold current was 132\u2005mA for a 3\ud7589\u2005\ub5m device, with a characteristic temperature of 83 K, measured in pulsed mode between 20 and 70\ub0C.Peer reviewed: NoNRC publication: Ye
