Abstract
The crystallographic plane-dependent, amphoteric nature of Si-doped AlGaAs is used to provide a low threshold semiconductor laser. An active layer of AlGaAs is sandwiched between an injection layer and a current confining layer of AlGaAs. The injection layer is doped to be n-type conductivity. The confining layer is amphoterically doped with Si to be n-type in a (100) plane and p-type in a (111)A plane. The resulting p-n junctions, heterostructure, and geometry provide the current and the optical confinement for the semiconductor laser.
