Abstract
Double-hetero-structure injection laser can be improved to have low threshold current in room-temperature continuous-wave operation. The improvement is obtained in one case wherein an n-type Ga.sub.1.sub.-y Al.sub.y As region (1.gtoreq.y>0) is first formed, a Ga.sub.1.sub.-z In.sub.z As is grown thereon as an active region and a p-type Ga.sub.1.sub.-y Al.sub.y As region is then formed on the active region and the value of z is so selected as to make the lattice constants of the active region smaller than those of the first and third regions.
