Resumo

A laser oscillation from self-organized In/sub 0.5/Ga/sub 0.5/As quantum dots is achieved at 80 K by current injection. Lasing at a three-dimensionally quantum confined sublevel of the In/sub 0.5/Ga/sub 0.5/As quantum dots is clearly demonstrated for the first time by electroluminescence and diamagnetic energy shift measurement. The results predict the possibility of ultra-low threshold current operation of quantum dot lasers.
