Continuous‐wave (cw) operation at temperatures up to 23 °C of an Al0.26Ga0.26In0.48P/Ga0.52In0.48P/ Al0.26Ga0.26In0.48P double heterostructure (DH) laser has been achieved for the first time. The threshold current was 160 mA at 20 °C for a device with a 10‐μm‐wide and 250‐μm‐long ion‐implanted stripe geometry. The emission wavelength was 671 nm during cw operation at 10 °C. To reduce thermal resistance to a heat sink, a dually stacked structure made of a thin (∼0.3 μm) p‐AlGaInP layer and a p‐Al0.76Ga0.24As layer was used as a cladding layer. The DH wafer was grown by atmospheric pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition.
