Visible-Spectrum Indium-Gallium - Phosphide - Arsenide Lasers and High-Pressure Measurements on Quantum-Well Heterostructure Lasers

Hydrostatic pressure studies on metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MO-CVD) grown Al(,x)Ga(,1-x)As-GaAs quantum-well heterostructure (QWH) laser diodes and on AlAs-GaAs and Al(,x)Ga(,1-x)As-GaAs superlattices (SL's) are described. The growth and characterization of visible-light emitting In(,1-x)Ga(,x)P-In(,1-x)Ga(,x)P(,1-z)As(,z) heterostructures grown on GaAs(,1-y)P(,y) substrates are discussed.
