Dual-frequency GaAs/InGaP laser diode with a GaAsSb quantum well

The results of investigation of a metal-organic-vapor-phase-epitaxy-grown GaAsSb/GaAs/InGaP laser structure are presented. Steady two-band generation caused by spatially direct and indirect optical transitions is obtained. Observation of the sum frequency shows the effective intracavity mixing of modes in semiconductor lasers of such a type.
