Abstract

Shortening the lasing wavelength(particularly below infrared ; the visible region) of laser diodes is very attractive because it can provide a wide range of applications in the fields of optical information, measurement, sensor, the development of medical instrument, and optical communication through plastic fibers. According to the recent researches on the field, InGaAsP/GaAs was suggested as a material for red-light laser. In this study, in order to grow InGaAsP/GaAs epitaxial layer on InGaAsP/GaAs by LPE, we used GaP and InP two phase solution technique for 670nm and 780 nm region, respectively. Through the X-ray diffraction measurement for the epitaxial layer grown from the experiments, we found that the lattice mismatch of $In_{0.46}Ga_{0.54}As_{0.07}P_{0.93}$/GaAs and $In_{0.19}Ga_{0.81}As_{0.62}P_{0.38}$/GaAs was about +0.3% and +0.1%, respectively.
