Abstract
We report electrically injected lasing in GaAs quantum dots (QDs) grown on GaAs(001) by droplet epitaxy. High-quality GaAs QDs with superior uniformity are formed using improved growth techniques involving the insertion of a two-dimensional layer, control of the As flux for GaAs crystallization, and thin AlGaAs layer capping with high-temperature annealing. The QDs show ultra-narrow luminescence with a linewidth of 20 meV. Ground-state lasing from a laser diode containing fivefold-stacked QD layers is observed at low temperature under pulsed operation.Keywords
