Abstract

An integrated multilayer laser consisting of three double heterostructure GaAs laser diodes connected in series by reversed biased p+n+ tunnel junctions have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The lasers operate at currents comparable to single double heterostructure lasers but at approximately three times the single laser voltage.
