Abstract

Room temperature GaAs/AlGaAs V-grooved quantum wire laser diodes grown by low pressure metallorganic chemical vapor deposition were studied by near-field scanning optical microscopy. High resolution measurements of light-current characteristics, emission spectra, and near-field intensity distributions of QWR diode lasers were obtained. In addition to the high resolution scans of the wire region, complete laser cross section were scanned and recorded the spatially resolved spectra at several drive currents. The emission measurements of the sloped areas as well as the top corners of the structure yielding important information on current and injected carrier leakage paths in complex devices.
