Low threshold room temperature AlGaAs/GaAs graded-index separate-confinement heterostructure single quantum well (GRIN SCH SQW) lasers were prepared by MBE. The influence of the growth temperature on the laser parameters was studied. Due to the high temperature MBE growth and the use of p-contact layer in the form of thin quasi-metallic beryllium layer significant reduction of the threshold current was achieved.
