Abstract
Progress in long-wavelength strained (compressive and tensile) InGaAs(P) quantum well semiconductor lasers and amplifiers for applications in optical fibre communication systems is reviewed. By the application of grown-in strain, device performance is considerably improved to such an extent that conventional bulk and unstrained quantum well active-layer devices are outperformed, while high reliability, similar to that of unstrained devices, is maintained.
