Room-temperature pulsed operation of a 1.3-µm wavelength transistor laser (TL), consisting of a buried heterostructure (BH) with an npn configuration and an AlGaInAs/InP multiple-quantum-well (MQW) active region, was successfully attained. A threshold base current of 18 mA (threshold emitter current of 150 mA) was obtained with a stripe width of 1.3 µm and a cavity length of 500 µm. The transistor activity as well as the lasing operation were achieved at the same time, which is essential for the high-speed operation of TLs.
